Help Hari replace the gearbox and return to work
Hari's my tuk-tuk is Hari's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India582 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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 $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hari?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gearbox replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out, Hari. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hari
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gearbox replacement (parts) comes first ($130) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Hope you get there. Don't give up
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. Take care.
How is Hari doing now?
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Love from Ekurhuleni!
Thanks for sharing this, Hari. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Hari. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Take care, Hari. This could happen to any of us. Love from Jinja
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
