My tuk-tuk: Aarti's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Aarti can't work; a $50 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 six 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 $50 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Labor charges: $20
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Aarti. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Phuket.
Thinking of you, Aarti. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
