Rodel needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Cebu City
Without my tuk-tuk Rodel can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the rear axle 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 1 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $175
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Labor charges: $80
With deep gratitude,
Rodel

Hope things get better soon, Rodel. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Latina.
