My tuk-tuk: Noel's only way to earn a living
Noel drives for a living in Dasmariñas, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 3 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $135
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Utrecht so I could bring a meal
You're not alone, Noel. Hope you get there. All the best
wishing you peace, Noel. This could happen to any of us.
