My tuk-tuk: Amir's only way to earn a living
Amir drives for a living in Zagazig, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $20
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Zagazig.
