Get Abdul back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Abdul drives for a living in Madurai, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $10
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts, Abdul. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Madurai.
You're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up!
how is Abdul doing now?
Shared this with my family. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Madurai.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Abdul?
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Madurai.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
wishing you peace, Abdul. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Liverpool
Thinking of you, Abdul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Gulu.
