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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Tehuacán. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
