Get Yolanda back on the road: my tuk-tuk repair fund
Yolanda's my tuk-tuk is Yolanda's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $600.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 six 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 $600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $420
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Yolanda. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Duque de Caxias
Stay strong, Yolanda. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Mississauga so I could bring a meal. Love from Pelotas.
you're not alone, Yolanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Buenos Aires.
Sending love, Yolanda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Caruaru but we're thinking of you.
Take care. Shared this with my family. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Yolanda. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Heliopolis donated after I showed her your page.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Madrid this morning. All the best.
