Luigi's my tuk-tuk is Luigi's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $900.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $900 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $450
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Durban donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
thinking of you, Luigi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Rome.
Hope things get better soon, Luigi. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Lyon donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out. Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
