Agnès needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Saint-Denis
Without my tuk-tuk Agnès cannot work; a $1,350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $1,350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $140
• rear axle replacement (parts): $920
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Agnès
Small update. $276 so far, I made the first payment toward rear axle replacement.
We're at 7% thanks to 5 of you. the plan for rear axle replacement is now scheduled. More news soon.

Thinking of you, Agnès. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you. Take care!
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Savar
Sending love, Agnès. Shared it with a few friends.
this could happen to any of us. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
