My tuk-tuk: Mauricio's only way to earn a living
Mauricio's my tuk-tuk is Mauricio's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
With deep gratitude,
Mauricio
