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

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $850 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $580
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $90
With deep gratitude,
Caterina

Good luck, Caterina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

you're not alone, Caterina. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
