My tuk-tuk: Pooja's only way to earn a living
Pooja's my tuk-tuk is Pooja's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $200.

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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $50
• transmission replacement (parts): $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.
