Chaminda needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Colombo
Chaminda's my pickup is Chaminda's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $100.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka478 views
I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Labor charges: $35
• Towing and inspection: $10
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Chaminda?
Thank you. If you're in Colombo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Thinking of you and your family, Chaminda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Pelotas so I could bring a meal.
hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings.
