Harsh needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Aurangabad
Without my ride-share car Harsh can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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:
• Labor charges: $20
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $240
• Towing and inspection: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Harsh
Good news. Because of your gifts ($89 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($36 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($89). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward labor charges.

Stay strong, Harsh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Harsh.
Sure. The biggest one is labor charges, $20. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Harsh?
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace, Harsh. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Nottingham
Wishing you peace, Harsh. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Greetings from Salvador
Hope it all works out, Harsh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
You're not alone, Harsh. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 16 people at work. Love from Pelotas.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon, Harsh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Hang in there, Harsh. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
