My tuk-tuk: Ramón's only way to earn a living
Ramón's my tuk-tuk is Ramón's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the gearbox 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 family of five. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Labor charges: $40
• Towing and inspection: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
