Hesti needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Makassar
Without my taxi Hesti can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 ten 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $130
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thank you for reading my story.
