Malathi needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Bengaluru
Without my tuk-tuk Malathi can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25
I hope life is good to you.

How is Malathi doing now?
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lalitpur
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Hyderabad.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you
