Krishna needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Jacksonville

Krishna drives for a living in Jacksonville, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 twelve 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 $1,750 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • suspension replacement (parts): $1,450 • Towing and inspection: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Krishna
