My delivery van: Priya's only way to earn a living
Priya drives for a living in Ekurhuleni, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 six 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 $400 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out, Priya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
