Jennifer needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Atlanta
Jennifer drives for a living in Atlanta, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇺🇸 United States1,673 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $105
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Jennifer. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Jennifer. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Nairobi.
Best of luck, Jennifer. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 5 people at work
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts, Jennifer. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family, Jennifer. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
