Isabel needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Rosario
Isabel drives for a living in Rosario, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $500 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Labor charges: $110
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Rosario. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Isabel. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. Take care.
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Manila
good luck. Your post was clear and honest!
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Rosario
Best of luck, Isabel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Sheffield donated after I showed her your page.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Isabel. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
hang in there, Isabel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Gatineau but we're thinking of you.
