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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
