Charles needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in London
Without my tuk-tuk Charles can't work; a $650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 three 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $330
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

We're at 58% thanks to 7 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($165 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. - Charles
