My motorbike: Prachi's only way to earn a living
Prachi drives for a living in Pune, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Prachi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Prachi.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rear axle replacement (parts) comes first ($125) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this, Prachi. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Uberlândia!
keep going, Prachi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Rooting for you, Prachi. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Stay strong, Prachi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours.
hang in there, Prachi. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Bristol donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Take care, Prachi. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Mississauga
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Athens this morning.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you
