Alina needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Iași
Alina drives for a living in Iași, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.
🇷🇴 Iași, Iași, Romania983 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 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 $500 goes:
• Labor charges: $110
• suspension replacement (parts): $310
• Towing and inspection: $80
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Alina. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Francisco
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Alina. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
