Thomas needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Paris
Without my pickup Thomas can't work; a $1,500 repair would put him back on the road.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,634 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 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 $1,500 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $260
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together
Thinking of you and your family, Thomas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Paris.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 16 people at work.
