I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,750 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $1,150 • Labor charges: $130 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $340 • Towing and inspection: $130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Wishing you peace, Oliver. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

      Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!

        Good luck, Oliver. Hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings.
