My pickup: Noor's only way to earn a living
Noor's my pickup is Noor's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the transmission 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 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 four 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Labor charges: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

so sorry you're going through this, Noor. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Best of luck, Noor. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Shubra
Take care, Noor. This could happen to any of us. After 10 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
