Get Christian back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Christian's my tuk-tuk is Christian's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 3 children. 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 $200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Ikeja this morning. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Christian. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Christian. Small businesses are the heart of Makati. Hope you're open again soon. After 22 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Makati!
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going, Christian. Hope this works out for you.
