Help Siva replace the rear axle and return to work
Siva drives for a living in Bhopal, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve 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 $250 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Siva.
It's all in the list in the story. rear axle replacement (parts) is the big one at $175, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Good luck, Siva. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bhopal.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rear axle replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Siva. Hope this works out for you. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Timișoara.
hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
