Help Sunita replace the rear axle and return to work
Sunita drives for a living in Nashik, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India590 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $210 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $145
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Sunita. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Southampton.
Hope it all works out, Sunita. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Small businesses are the heart of Nashik. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Best of luck, Sunita. Small businesses are the heart of Nashik. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

You're not alone, Sunita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bacolod

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Manukau so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
