My taxi: Ramesh's only way to earn a living
Ramesh drives for a living in Nizamabad, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending strength, Ramesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Ramesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Lahore.
