My tuk-tuk: Yash's only way to earn a living

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $200 goes: • Labor charges: $45 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $150 • Towing and inspection: $5 If you're reading this, thank you.

    you're not alone, Yash. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kolkata
