Get Rahima back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Rahima drives for a living in Thane, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the transmission 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $150 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $10 • transmission replacement (parts): $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rahima

Updates from Rahima

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($94 in total) I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($44 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Rahima
