My tuk-tuk: Bea's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Bea can't work; a $205 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $205 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
With deep gratitude,
Bea
