My delivery van: Tuva's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Tuva can't work; a $2,050 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,050. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $2,050 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Towing and inspection: $180
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Tuva. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tuva?
Thank you. If you're in Stockholm I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Cairo.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Best of luck, Tuva. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
