I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the suspension 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 4 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $300 goes: โ€ข suspension replacement (parts): $200 โ€ข Labor charges: $25 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $40 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
