I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 ten 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 $750 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $175 • Towing and inspection: $190 • Labor charges: $385 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nolan

        Thanks for sharing this, Nolan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Lviv so I could bring a meal. Love from Kochi.
