Help Alamin replace the suspension and return to work
Alamin's my tuk-tuk is Alamin's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 nine 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 $250 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• suspension replacement (parts): $205
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Alamin
Thank you all. We're at 42% now ($106). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
