Get Vinayak back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Vinayak's my tuk-tuk is Vinayak's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 3 children. 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 $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $145
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
