I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 twelve 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 $1,600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $180
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $135
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Daiki
2% there. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($28 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Fukuoka: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

So sorry you're going through this, Daiki. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Love from Johannesburg.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Fukuoka.
