Get Satish back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Satish can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $125
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $45
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Satish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
