I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 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 $750 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope things get better soon, Paula. This could happen to any of us. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hang in there, Paula. Hope you get there.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Oakland
