Get Vino back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Vino cannot work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the gearbox 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 ten 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 $200 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $145
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Vino. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Medan
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in North Sumatra. I'll ask around and let you know
Good luck, Vino. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
