My tuk-tuk: Maciej's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Maciej can't work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $600 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $45
• gearbox replacement (parts): $445
With deep gratitude,
Maciej
