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.

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.

      • Inés G. Ibáñez

        Best of luck. Hope you get there. Love from Tokyo.
