My tuk-tuk: Yasir's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Yasir can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $90
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from London.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Praying for you, Yasir. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Faisalabad.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out. Hope you make a strong comeback. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Salé donated after I showed her your page. Love from Salé
Take care, Yasir. Small businesses are the heart of Faisalabad. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Guadalupe.
Sending love, Yasir. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dublin.
take care, Yasir. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
