I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Labor charges: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
