Help Bayu replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my food truck Bayu cannot work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the gearbox 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Labor charges: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Bayu. Small businesses are the heart of Kediri. Hope you're open again soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Busan but we're thinking of you
hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bekasi.
