Get Lukman back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Lukman can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lukman?
Thank you. If you're in Bandung I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Bandung. Hope you're open again soon.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Kathmandu donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Lukman. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
