I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 2 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 $1,800 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Towing and inspection: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

good luck, Jocelyn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Valencia but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
