My tuk-tuk: Leah's only way to earn a living
Leah's my tuk-tuk is Leah's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $650.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
