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.
