Help Anders replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Anders can't work; a $2,150 repair would put him back on the road.
🇸🇪 Sweden1,200 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,150. 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 ten 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 $2,150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• Towing and inspection: $120
With deep gratitude,
Anders

Hang in there, Anders. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Stockholm
how is Anders doing now?
Hang in there, Anders. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Hang in there, Anders. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Nsukka so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Stockholm.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us.
