Tharun needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Ahmedabad
Without my ride-share car Tharun can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.
🇮🇳 Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India970 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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): $170
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Tharun. Shared this with my family. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
You're not alone, Tharun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Sending love, Tharun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Love from Daegu!
Praying for you, Tharun. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Ahmedabad
