Kiara needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Mumbai
Kiara drives for a living in Mumbai, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the gearbox 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $220
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Kiara. Shared it with a few friends. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Laredo!
Hope things get better soon, Kiara. Small businesses are the heart of Mumbai. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted.
