Help Ilana replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Ilana cannot work; a $750 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 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 $750 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $480
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $75
Thank you for reading my story.

How is Ilana doing now?
hope it all works out, Ilana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. Thinking of Tel Aviv.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ilana!
rooting for you. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
thinking of you and your family, Ilana. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Abuja.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ilana?
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you, Ilana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Tel Aviv.
Thinking of you, Ilana. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Leipzig.
