Help Vani replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Vani can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 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 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.
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): $165
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Vani
Thank you all. We're at 79% now ($197). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Small update. $31 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

Wishing you the best, Vani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Hialeah this morning. Love from Hialeah
Sending love, Vani. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Good luck, Vani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Take care
