I make my living with my motorbike. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $20
• rear axle replacement (parts): $105
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Nipa
Thank you all. We're at 33% now ($49). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.

Stay strong, Nipa. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

Wishing you the best, Nipa. Small businesses are the heart of Mumbai. Hope you're open again soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
