Get Lúcia back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Lúcia can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $45
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

rooting for you, Lúcia. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Stay strong. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
