Get Taras back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Taras drives for a living in Moscow, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 six 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 $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $30
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $235
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
