I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 twelve 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 $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kanpur.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clutch assembly replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Rohan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Gaya.
Sending strength, Rohan. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Rohan. Small businesses are the heart of Kanpur. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thanks for sharing this, Rohan. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 25 people at work. Take care.
