I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 six 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:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Vikas. Shared this with my family. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
small businesses are the heart of Mumbai. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update
