Get Raúl back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Raúl can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $55
• Towing and inspection: $20
• rear axle replacement (parts): $125
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raúl
Hope things get better soon, Raúl. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
so sorry you're going through this, Raúl. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Newport but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Santa Fe.
Keep going, Raúl. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Raúl. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
