Get Lorenzo back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Lorenzo can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,045 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 2 children. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• transmission replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Lorenzo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Lorenzo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Boston.
