Gabriel's my tuk-tuk is Gabriel's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $650.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Leeds.
sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon
Thinking of you, Gabriel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Leeds.
Take care. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mandeville.
