Get Rojina back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Rojina drives for a living in Kathmandu, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $160. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $160 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Abbottabad but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Stay strong, Rojina. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
stay strong, Rojina. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Wishing you peace, Rojina. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Toulouse donated after I showed her your page. Love from Toulouse
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Kathmandu!
