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.
