I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $95 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $25 Thank you for reading my story. - Jay
