Help Monica replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Monica's my tuk-tuk is Monica's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $850.
🇮🇹 Italy1,400 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 eleven 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 $850 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $530
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Thrissur this morning. Blessings.
Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon!
Thinking of you and your family, Monica. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Monica?
So sorry you're going through this, Monica. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Alexandria but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Stay strong, Monica. Shared this with my family.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Bari.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
