Get Swapna back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Swapna can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $300 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $35
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
