Help Mahesh replace the gearbox and return to work

Without my tuk-tuk Mahesh cannot work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 2 children. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $150 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $80 • Labor charges: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $25 If you're reading this, thank you.
