Get Aiden back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Aiden can't work; a $1,850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $60

Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of San Francisco.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Thinking of San Francisco
Wishing you the best, Aiden. This could happen to any of us.
