Narayan needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Biratnagar
Narayan's my tuk-tuk is Narayan's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $250.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal668 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $250 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thank you for reading my story.
