Get Arief back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Arief drives for a living in Depok, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $145
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Arief?
Thank you. If you're in Depok I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out, Arief. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Depok.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Depok. Hope you're open again soon. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
