Help Kelvin replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my taxi Kelvin can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 twelve 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 $350 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Kelvin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 13 people at work. Greetings from Butwal.
