I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $185
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $145
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Geelong!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rear axle replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Geelong.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Vishal. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
praying for you, Vishal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
