Usha needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Ludhiana
Without my pickup Usha can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the suspension 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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5

Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward suspension replacement.

Sending love, Usha. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Usha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you, Usha. Small businesses are the heart of Ludhiana. Hope you're open again soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
You're not alone, Usha. Hope the shop reopens soon
