Help Darshan replace the transmission and return to work
Darshan drives for a living in Kanpur, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the transmission 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Darshan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Reading so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kanpur
