Help Ye-jin replace the gearbox and return to work
Ye-jin drives for a living in Gangnam, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
• gearbox replacement (parts): $855
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai
