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

Brigitte drives for a living in Victoria, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 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 $1,650 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,250 • Labor charges: $135 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $160 • Towing and inspection: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Brigitte
