My tuk-tuk: Lilian's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Lilian can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
