I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• rear axle replacement (parts): $270
• Towing and inspection: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.
So sorry you're going through this, Tuğba. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care
