Get Charlotte back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Charlotte drives for a living in Ann Arbor, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $45
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Charlotte. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Negombo.
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Wishing you the best, Charlotte. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 12 people at work.
your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
Rooting for you, Charlotte. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Soweto.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning
Best of luck, Charlotte. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Prayagraj.
