Get Giovana back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Giovana drives for a living in São Paulo, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
