Get Si-woo back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Si-woo's my tuk-tuk is Si-woo's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $800.
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea610 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $800 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $400
• Labor charges: $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $120
• Towing and inspection: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Si-woo doing now?
I hope things turn around soon. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Seoul.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Love from Tokyo.
Praying for you, Si-woo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
