My pickup: Héctor's only way to earn a living
Héctor drives for a living in Buffalo, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $480
• Labor charges: $340
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• Towing and inspection: $170
Thanks for reading all this.
