Help Lauren replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Lauren can't work; a $900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 twelve 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 $900 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $130
• suspension replacement (parts): $620
• Labor charges: $150
Thank you for reading my story.
