My pickup: Dinesh's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Dinesh can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $45
• transmission replacement (parts): $145
• Towing and inspection: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Dinesh
Small update. $29 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $24 raised so far (12%). the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($14). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

Sending good thoughts, Dinesh. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jodhpur
