My tuk-tuk: Dipu's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Dipu can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $65
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Rooting for you, Dipu. Shared this with my family. Take care
good luck, Dipu. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Take care, Dipu. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care.
stay strong, Dipu. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Moscow.
