My tuk-tuk: Liton's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Liton can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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 $350 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Liton. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

Good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love, Liton. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
