My tuk-tuk: Ning's only way to earn a living
Ning's my tuk-tuk is Ning's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,100.
🇦🇺 Australia1,311 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the rear axle 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $580
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Towing and inspection: $85

Wishing you peace, Ning. Hope this works out for you
sending strength, Ning. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Ning. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
How is Ning doing now?
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Sydney. Hope you're open again soon.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Manukau so I could bring a meal. Love from Pretoria.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Lagos.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 17 people at work. Take care!
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Quezon City this morning. Thinking of Sydney.
Hope it all works out, Ning. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Salvador this morning.
good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hang in there, Ning. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
