I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 six 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: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $155 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $45 Thank you so much. - Sarah

  • thanks for sharing this, Sarah. Shared it with a few friends.

    • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Scranton so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • hope this works out for you. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Entebbe

        • Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mombasa
