My tuk-tuk: Okta's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Okta cannot work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 nine 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 $150 goes:
ā¢ radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $65
ā¢ Labor charges: $35
ā¢ Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
ā¢ Towing and inspection: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Okta. Small businesses are the heart of Medan. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Medan
