My tuk-tuk: Rocío's only way to earn a living
Rocío's my tuk-tuk is Rocío's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,200.
Anywhere in the world1,390 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Labor charges: $310
• rear axle replacement (parts): $510
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $380
With deep gratitude,
Rocío
