Get Yusuf back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Without my delivery van Yusuf can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.
🇮🇩 Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia748 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $60
• transmission replacement (parts): $165
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
