Salma needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Dhaka
Salma drives for a living in Dhaka, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $205 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
