I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 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 $100 goes: • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $25 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Vaishali

Wanted to say thank you properly. 111% funded and I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $76 so far, the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.
