Help Brett replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Brett can't work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $450 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $290
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thank you so much.

how is Brett doing now?
Take care, Brett. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Caxias do Sul
Sending good thoughts. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Pretoria.
Wishing you peace, Brett. Looking forward to the next update.
thinking of you and your family, Brett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
You're not alone, Brett. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Pretoria
Good luck, Brett. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal. Love from Tokyo
Take care. Shared this with my family. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Busan!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Pretoria
Sending good thoughts, Brett. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Nnewi this morning. Take care.
