Umesh needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Pune
Umesh's my taxi is Umesh's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $200.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India383 views
I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $110
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Umesh
Quick update: $203 raised so far (101%). the plan for clutch assembly replacement is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($83). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Update from Pune: we've started the first stage. We're at 36% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Stay strong, Umesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
sending love, Umesh. Shared this with my family. God bless
