Get Ebo back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Ebo drives for a living in Takoradi, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the rear axle 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $40
• Towing and inspection: $10
• rear axle replacement (parts): $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
