Candra needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Bekasi
Without my school-run minibus Candra can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 four 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 $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $80
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $10
With deep gratitude,
Candra

Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Pretoria.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Colombo.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Bekasi
Sending good thoughts, Candra. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Bekasi. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Bekasi.
