Get Galit back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Galit's my tuk-tuk is Galit's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $700.
🇮🇱 Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel1,042 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 three 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 $700 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• suspension replacement (parts): $480
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Galit
Towing and inspection is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
hope it all works out, Galit. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Galit?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about towing and inspection, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this, Galit. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. Love from Chattogram!
Keep going, Galit. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Rooting for you, Galit. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from London
Wishing you peace, Galit. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Epe this morning. Love from Epe
Keep going, Galit. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
wishing you peace, Galit. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
