Help Okta replace the transmission and return to work
Without my ride-share car Okta can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,039 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 3 children. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $95
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Okta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
