Get Apurva back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Apurva's my tuk-tuk is Apurva's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $300.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India440 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $25
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
