My tuk-tuk: Leo's only way to earn a living
Leo's my tuk-tuk is Leo's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,150.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $450
• Labor charges: $370
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thank you for reading my story.
