Dimas needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Jakarta Selatan
Without my school-run minibus Dimas can't work; a $205 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the gearbox 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
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:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($117 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($92 in total) the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
