Help Bezawit replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Bezawit's my tuk-tuk is Bezawit's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $150.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,907 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $10
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bezawit
keep going, Bezawit. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Bezawit. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 39 people at work. Greetings from Regina.
Praying for you, Bezawit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Praying for you, Bezawit. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from St. Petersburg
