Citlali needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Córdoba
Citlali drives for a living in Córdoba, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 eleven 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 $450 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $310
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $25
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Citlali. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Sending strength, Citlali. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Leicester.
Wishing you peace, Citlali. Hope you make a strong comeback. Blessings.
Take care, Citlali. Hope you get there. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kano.
good luck, Citlali. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
You're not alone, Citlali. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Córdoba.
hope it all works out, Citlali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 28 people at work. Love from Vadodara.
