Qing needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles
Qing drives for a living in Los Angeles, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $750
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $350
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
