Help Araceli replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Araceli cannot work; a $1,300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $790
• Labor charges: $210
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

Praying for you, Araceli. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
