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

Without my tuk-tuk Beatriz can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 three 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 $400 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Labor charges: $80 • transmission replacement (parts): $265 If you're reading this, thank you. - Beatriz
