My tuk-tuk: Yaroslav's only way to earn a living
Yaroslav drives for a living in Lviv, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kelowna.
You're not alone, Yaroslav. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. All the best!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yaroslav
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) comes first ($210) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Yaroslav. Small businesses are the heart of Lviv. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Rajshahi.
