Hiroto needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Osaka

Without my tuk-tuk Hiroto can't work; a $900 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $900 goes: • Towing and inspection: $75 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $690 • Labor charges: $135 Thanks for reading all this. - Hiroto
