Get Jan back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Jan drives for a living in Warsaw, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 six 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 $550 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $310
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thank you so much.
- Jan

so sorry you're going through this, Jan. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
