Get Lourdes back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Lourdes can't work; a $900 repair would put her back on the road.
🇪🇸 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain1,477 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $900 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $370
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Lourdes. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lourdes
good luck, Lourdes. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Abbottabad.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Barcelona
So sorry you're going through this, Lourdes. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
good luck. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Praying for you, Lourdes. Hope you get there. Blessings
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from San Diego.
