Tarun needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Aurangabad
Tarun drives for a living in Aurangabad, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 10 weeks.
🇮🇳 Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India1,013 views
I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 nine 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 $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $30
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Rooting for you, Tarun. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
you're not alone, Tarun. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
