Help Naomi replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Naomi can't work; a $1,100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,100 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $790
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.
