Help Meenakshi replace the transmission and return to work
Meenakshi drives for a living in Pune, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $65
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
