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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
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): $1,200
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Alyssa
Update from San Diego: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
