Help Shefali replace the gearbox and return to work

Without my tuk-tuk Shefali can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $200 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $145 • Labor charges: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $20 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Shefali
