Get Alice back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Alice can't work; a $1,150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 $1,150 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $750
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out, Alice. Shared it with a few friends. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
