Help Wahyu replace the rear axle and return to work
Wahyu drives for a living in Jakarta, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the rear axle 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
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
• rear axle replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Arusha
Best of luck, Wahyu. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 31 people at work. Thinking of Jakarta
