My delivery van: Josefa's only way to earn a living
Josefa drives for a living in Guadalajara, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• rear axle replacement (parts): $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Josefa
Thank you all. We're at 89% now ($266). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Josefa
hope it all works out, Josefa. I hope things turn around soon. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Xalapa
Hope it all works out, Josefa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
