Okta needs my tuk-tuk repaired to get back to work in Jakarta
Okta drives for a living in Jakarta, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 12 weeks ago the gearbox 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $15
Glad we found this place.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Lagos.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Nashville this morning. Thinking of Jakarta
