Get Arthur back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Arthur's my food truck is Arthur's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $550.
Anywhere in the world1,201 views
I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 nine 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 $550 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $430
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $70
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Arthur. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from London.
wishing you peace, Arthur. Hope this works out for you. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Best of luck, Arthur. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Breda.
Sending love. Hope you get there. Love from Albany
