Help Victor replace the rear axle and return to work
Victor drives for a living in Dar es Salaam, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $50 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Labor charges: $20
• Towing and inspection: $10
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
