My tuk-tuk: Ngozi's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Ngozi can't work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the gearbox 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $70
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
If you're reading this, thank you.

Praying for you, Ngozi. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Kilkenny but we're thinking of you. God bless.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
Looking forward to the next update. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best!
Shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Ngozi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
