I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $930
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Mississauga. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
You're not alone, Tammy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
so sorry you're going through this, Tammy. Small businesses are the heart of Mississauga. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care!
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Stay strong, Tammy. Small businesses are the heart of Mississauga. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from La Plata.
