Get Eva back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Eva drives for a living in Belfast, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 10 weeks.
Anywhere in the world1,352 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,100 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $570
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Eva. Small businesses are the heart of Belfast. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
sending strength, Eva. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Gwagwalada so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Los Angeles
Small businesses are the heart of Belfast. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Belfast.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
