Get Lilian back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Lilian drives for a living in Epe, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 twelve 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 $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $90
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $20
I hope life is good to you.
