Help Otieno replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Otieno cannot work; a $150 repair would put him 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 $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 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 three 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:
• Labor charges: $60
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. God bless.
wishing you the best, Otieno. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Bangkok.
