Payal needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Howrah
Without my tuk-tuk Payal can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $10
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you, Payal. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Lyon.
Hope it all works out, Payal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
wishing you peace, Payal. Hope you make a strong comeback.
I hope things turn around soon. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Howrah.
