I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Okan. Shared this with my family.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Okan
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. suspension replacement (parts) comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace, Okan. Small businesses are the heart of Üsküdar. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best

Sending love, Okan. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Durham
rooting for you, Okan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Okan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
