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

Without my tuk-tuk Kiên can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 family of five. 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 $250 goes: • Labor charges: $20 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $190 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Keep going, Kiên. Hope you get there. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

      Keep going, Kiên. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kiên.

          The list at the bottom is the whole picture. labor charges is the biggest at $20. It helps to be asked.

      • Qiang Jun Feng

        Hope things get better soon, Kiên. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
