My tuk-tuk: Katerina's only way to earn a living

Without my tuk-tuk Katerina can't work; a $850 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 nine 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 $850 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $660 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 • Towing and inspection: $10 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Katerina

      You're not alone, Katerina. Hope the shop reopens soon.

      • Thinking of you and your family, Katerina. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Heraklion

        • Wishing you peace, Katerina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Nakhon Ratchasima

          • small businesses are the heart of Heraklion. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Negombo this morning. Blessings
