I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $450 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $320 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Labor charges: $75 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Diana

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($159 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $110 so far, the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.

  3. Update from Kazan: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
