My taxi: Kiara's only way to earn a living

Kiara drives for a living in Ahmedabad, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 twelve 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. 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: • Labor charges: $25 • Towing and inspection: $10 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $115 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
