Shailesh needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Nagpur

Shailesh's my taxi is Shailesh's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the gearbox 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $200 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $140 • Labor charges: $30 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $10 Every share and every dollar helps.

  2. Update from Nagpur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
