My food truck: Wulan's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Wulan can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia967 views
I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 eleven 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:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.
