Indika needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Colombo
Indika drives for a living in Colombo, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 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 $50 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Indika
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. labor charges comes first ($25) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Indika. Hope you make a strong comeback. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Colombo.
So sorry you're going through this, Indika. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
