My tuk-tuk: Héctor's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Héctor cannot work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 $450 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $310
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $90
Thank you so much.

Hope the shop reopens soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Chiang Mai
stay strong, Héctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Stay strong, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from London
so sorry you're going through this, Héctor. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Héctor. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Manukau.
