Get Joyce back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Joyce drives for a living in Edmonton, 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 $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 four 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 $600 goes:
• Labor charges: $180
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $130
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Joyce
Update from Edmonton: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $88 raised so far (15%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
