I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 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 $1,400 goes: โ€ข radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,150 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $55 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $195 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Ellie
