Krishnan needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Udaipur
Without my tuk-tuk Krishnan can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇮🇳 Udaipur, Rajasthan, India880 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $35
With deep gratitude,
Krishnan
