Vasanthi needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Pune
Vasanthi drives for a living in Pune, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25

Hang in there, Vasanthi. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Hang in there, Vasanthi. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
