Get Karim back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Karim's my tuk-tuk is Karim's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Karim. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Lagos.
Sending love, Karim. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Rajshahi
