Pierre needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Boulogne-Billancourt
Without my tuk-tuk Pierre can't work; a $1,100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $450
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Pierre. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Pierre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts, Pierre. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Nagpur.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Hawassa this morning
sending strength, Pierre. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update
Sending good thoughts, Pierre. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt
