Get Manoel back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund

Manoel drives for a living in Maringá, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $450 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $390 • Towing and inspection: $40 • Labor charges: $20 With deep gratitude, Manoel
