Ronnie needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Davao City
Without my tuk-tuk Ronnie can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Ronnie
Update from Davao City: we've started the first stage. We're at 44% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($25 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 46% funded and I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.

Hang in there, Ronnie. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Los Angeles
Keep going, Ronnie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
