Get Naveen back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Naveen drives for a living in New Delhi, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 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 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck, Naveen. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Best of luck, Naveen. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there, Naveen. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
