Balaji needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Nagpur

Without my pickup Balaji can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $300 goes: โ€ข engine head gasket replacement (parts): $175 โ€ข Labor charges: $45 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $40 Thanks for reading all this. - Balaji

  • Thinking of you and your family, Balaji. Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

    • Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Campinas

      • Keep going, Balaji. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
