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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
