Herman needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Quezon City
Herman drives for a living in Quezon City, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $15
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Herman. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
