My tuk-tuk: Phong's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Phong can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $190
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $860
Thank you so much.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Jakarta Selatan
Hope it all works out, Phong. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Phong. Hope you make a strong comeback. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
