I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the suspension 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 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 $200 goes: • Labor charges: $50 • suspension replacement (parts): $110 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Heru

  • shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Wudil.

    • Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Selatan. Hope you're open again soon. Take care

      • Praying for you, Heru. Hope you get there. Love from Mumbai.

        • Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings

          • Sending good thoughts, Heru. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
