Get Adriana back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund

Adriana drives for a living in Monterrey, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $400 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $220 • Labor charges: $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 • Towing and inspection: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Adriana

      Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

        praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

        • Sombat Krit Pattanasiri

          wishing you the best, Adriana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
