My pickup: Meena's only way to earn a living
Meena drives for a living in Nagpur, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India935 views
I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
