My pickup: Galih's only way to earn a living
Galih drives for a living in Magelang, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $155. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $155 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Galih. Shared this with my family. God bless
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 11 people at work. All the best
