Swetha needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Kanpur
Swetha drives for a living in Kanpur, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the transmission 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $250 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $5
With deep gratitude,
Swetha
