My tuk-tuk: Zlata's only way to earn a living
Without my tuk-tuk Zlata can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $25
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $320
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Zlata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Feira de Santana.
Hang in there, Zlata. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
