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. - Priya

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