Help Parvin replace the suspension and return to work
Parvin's my tuk-tuk is Parvin's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 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 twelve 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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $5
If you're reading this, thank you.

best of luck, Parvin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Kolkata.
You're not alone, Parvin. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Pune
