My pickup: Tarun's only way to earn a living
Tarun's my pickup is Tarun's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the gearbox 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 wife and our newborn. 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:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• gearbox replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Sherbrooke.
how is Tarun doing now?
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 17 people at work!
Wishing you the best, Tarun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
hope the shop reopens soon!
