Get Rafiq back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Rafiq drives for a living in Mumbai, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $90
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $10
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Praying for you, Rafiq. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mumbai.
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Rafiq. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
You're not alone, Rafiq. Hope the shop reopens soon
