I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 twelve 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 $1,100 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $460
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $80
Every share and every dollar helps.
