Help Jackson replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Jackson can't work; a $1,700 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 California, United States2,762 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 family of five. 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 $1,700 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $160
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $190
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care, Jackson. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. Thinking of Sacramento.
Rooting for you, Jackson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best
so sorry you're going through this, Jackson. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up!
Small businesses are the heart of Sacramento. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Brescia.
