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

Without my tuk-tuk Audrey can't work; a $1,100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,100 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $460 • Labor charges: $270 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • Towing and inspection: $120 Every share and every dollar helps.
