My delivery van: Jay's only way to earn a living
Jay drives for a living in Nagpur, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $205 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Labor charges: $5
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
