Get Kiara back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Without my delivery van Kiara can't work; a $160 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $160. 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 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 $160 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Small update. $70 so far, I made the first payment toward rear axle replacement.
Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rear axle replacement is now scheduled.

Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Nashik.

Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Kolkata. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Badagry.
