Help Seda replace the suspension and return to work
Without my tuk-tuk Seda can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, TürkiyePosted May 29, 2026605 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $35
• suspension replacement (parts): $210
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Seda
Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
Small update. $25 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
