Help Sebastian replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Sebastian can't work; a $1,200 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 Aurora, Illinois, United States467 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $750
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
