Patrizia needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Bergamo
Patrizia drives for a living in Bergamo, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇮🇹 Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy277 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $550 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $100
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $130
With deep gratitude,
Patrizia

Good news. Because of your gifts ($39 in total) the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Patrizia
