I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $250 goes: • Towing and inspection: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $180 Thank you for reading my story. - Somsak

    you're not alone, Somsak. Hope you make a strong comeback. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Bang Khen. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Duque de Caxias!
