Alexander needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Moscow
Alexander drives for a living in Moscow, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the transmission 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 family of five. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $40
• Labor charges: $135
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Alexander. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up!
Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best!
