My taxi: Pranav's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Pranav cannot work; a $205 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $205 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 42% now ($87). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nashik.
