Help Caroline replace the rear axle and return to work
Caroline drives for a living in Swansea, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $1,750 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $370
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this, Caroline. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Guadalajara donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
