I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $205 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $110 • Labor charges: $55 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $5 If you're reading this, thank you.
