Get Johan back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Johan's my tuk-tuk is Johan's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,550.
🇳🇱 South Holland, Netherlands2,377 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,550 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $990
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going, Johan. I hope things turn around soon!
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Johan. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
