Get Savannah back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund

Savannah drives for a living in Riverside, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 $1,950 goes: • Labor charges: $420 • Towing and inspection: $180 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,350 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
