Get Dineo back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Dineo can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $40
With deep gratitude,
Dineo
