Basma needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Madrid
Without my tuk-tuk Basma can't work; a $950 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $950. 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 1 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $950 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $430
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Towing and inspection: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Blessings.
You're not alone, Basma. Hope the shop reopens soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Best of luck, Basma. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Düsseldorf but we're thinking of you. All the best
