My delivery van: Aria's only way to earn a living
Aria drives for a living in Leicester, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom1,508 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 eleven 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 $1,100 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $630
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $120
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace, Aria. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aria
It's all in the list in the story. rear axle replacement (parts) is the big one at $630, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best, Aria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Leicester.
Keep going, Aria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Take care, Aria. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
stay strong. Hope you get there. Greetings from Lahore.
Thanks for sharing this, Aria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
