Iván needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in San Jose
Iván's my tuk-tuk is Iván's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,950.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,950 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $340
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $70
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jacksonville.

Hope things get better soon, Iván. Small businesses are the heart of San Jose. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
