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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. 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 $400 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $280
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon, Erica. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Sydney.
Best of luck, Erica. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Keep going, Erica. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Onitsha.
