I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Aurélie doing now?
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Rabat
Praying for you, Aurélie. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Abuja but we're thinking of you. Blessings
