My delivery van: Sérgio's only way to earn a living

Sérgio drives for a living in Fortaleza, 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 $450. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $450 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $290 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Sérgio

    hang in there, Sérgio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

              Hope it all works out, Sérgio. I hope things turn around soon. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
