I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 $1,600 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $1,000 • Labor charges: $260 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $185 • Towing and inspection: $155 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Paisley

  • Hope it all works out, Paisley. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
