Get Gloria back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Gloria can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $135
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $340
• Towing and inspection: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Gloria. Looking forward to the next update
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Wishing you peace, Gloria. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
Keep going, Gloria. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Sherbrooke
Sending strength, Gloria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Riverside
Stay strong, Gloria. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 16 people at work. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Gloria. Small businesses are the heart of Sherbrooke. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Rooting for you, Gloria. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
