Vino needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Jakarta Barat
Vino's my delivery van is Vino's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $100.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia573 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 2 children. 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Fort Worth donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vino.
Sure. The biggest one is labor charges, $25. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
Sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. All the best.
hang in there, Vino. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Paris.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vino?
Thank you. If you're in Jakarta Barat I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon, Vino. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
wishing you the best, Vino. I hope things turn around soon.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Rawalpindi

Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Barat. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this, Vino. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

So sorry you're going through this, Vino. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Jakarta Barat.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Varanasi
