My tuk-tuk: Jannat's only way to earn a living
Jannat drives for a living in Gazipur, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $60
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

good luck, Jannat. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Best of luck, Jannat. It takes guts to ask. Well done
