Bo needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Newcastle
Bo drives for a living in Newcastle, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $470
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
