My tuk-tuk: Anika's only way to earn a living

Anika drives for a living in Gazipur, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $210 goes: โ€ข gearbox replacement (parts): $125 โ€ข Labor charges: $40 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Anika
