Help Aubree replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Aubree can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $850
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Aubree
We're at 7% thanks to 2 of you. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Quick update: $105 raised so far (7%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($36 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
