My tuk-tuk: Eli's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Eli cannot work; a $1,900 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,900 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going, Eli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
