Get Nova back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Nova can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,400 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $740
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Grand Rapids.
wishing you peace, Nova. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
