My delivery van: Valentina's only way to earn a living
Valentina drives for a living in Oakland, 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 $1,450. 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 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 $1,450 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Valentina. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
