Joya needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Narayanganj
Joya drives for a living in Narayanganj, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the transmission 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $80
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 47% funded and I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. - Joya
47% there. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($3 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
