My pickup: Atul's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Atul can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $60
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $20
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Atul. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Cincinnati
good luck, Atul. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending strength, Atul. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Rohini.
looking forward to the next update. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
how is Atul doing now?
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Stay strong, Atul. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Rohini
Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Rohini.
