Orlando needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Quezon City
Without my tuk-tuk Orlando cannot work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 2 children. 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:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $145
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $15
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Orlando. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Rooting for you, Orlando. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
sending strength, Orlando. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
