Help Yan replace the suspension and return to work
Yan's my tuk-tuk is Yan's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,800.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States1,033 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $150
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $300
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
thanks for sharing this, Yan. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
