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.

Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 7 people at work. All the best.
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
