Get Hala back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Hala drives for a living in London, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $1,000 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $125
• Labor charges: $320
• gearbox replacement (parts): $555
Thanks for reading all this.

so sorry you're going through this, Hala. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
