Get Siddharth back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Siddharth's my tuk-tuk is Siddharth's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $250.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,991 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Siddharth.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. fuel pump replacement (parts) comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Mumbai.
