Hadi needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Surabaya
Without my tuk-tuk Hadi can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $155
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Hadi
Small update. $95 so far, the plan for radiator and cooling system replacement is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($76 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $41 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hadi.
It's all in the list in the story. towing and inspection is the big one at $15, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Keep going, Hadi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Looking forward to the next update. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
