Get Spyridon back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Spyridon's my tuk-tuk is Spyridon's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,000.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece1,213 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 ten 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 $1,000 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $570
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $75
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
