Get Tejaswini back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Tejaswini drives for a living in Mumbai, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $180
Every share and every dollar helps.
