Get Paula back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Paula drives for a living in Rosario, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $45
• Towing and inspection: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Paula. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
