My pickup: Zeeshan's only way to earn a living
Zeeshan's my pickup is Zeeshan's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $200.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,656 views
I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the rear axle 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $90
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $40
With deep gratitude,
Zeeshan

thinking of you and your family, Zeeshan. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck, Zeeshan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Zeeshan. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Lahore. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lahore.
Sending love, Zeeshan. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
