Get Ratul back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Ratul drives for a living in Nagpur, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the suspension 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $15
• suspension replacement (parts): $115
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Nagpur. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
