Eren needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Kadıköy
Eren's my food truck is Eren's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $400.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye444 views
I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 six 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 $400 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thank you so much.
