I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $550 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $400 • Labor charges: $70 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $70 • Towing and inspection: $10 Thank you so much.

Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($185). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Small update. $235 so far, I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.
