Get Wekesa back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Without my tuk-tuk Wekesa can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $100
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $20
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
