Get Komal back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Komal's my pickup is Komal's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,200.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• rear axle replacement (parts): $930
• Towing and inspection: $110
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Rio de Janeiro
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Enugu.
praying for you, Komal. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Brisbane.
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Riverside. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
