Sônia needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Petrópolis

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $400 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $180 • Labor charges: $90 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $90 • Towing and inspection: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
