Garima needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Nottingham
Without my food truck Garima can't work; a $1,300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 ten 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 $1,300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,100
• Towing and inspection: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Garima. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Garima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page.
