Get Halyna back on the road: my food truck repair fund

Without my food truck Halyna can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 eleven 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 $500 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Labor charges: $100 • gearbox replacement (parts): $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Halyna

  • Rooting for you, Halyna. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Ogbomosho so I could bring a meal.

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Halyna

      • It's all in the list in the story. road tax and insurance renewal is the big one at $60, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

    • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Houston

      • Praying for you, Halyna. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Halyna. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

          • Keep going. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

            • Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Moscow. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from București.

              • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Halyna?

                • Thank you. If you're in Moscow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

              • Thanks for sharing this, Halyna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Moscow.

                • Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 15 people at work. Greetings from Dhaka

                  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in San Miguel de Tucumán this morning

                    • Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Guarulhos.

                      • sending good thoughts. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                        • I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

                          • Sending love. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update

                            • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Moscow. I'll ask around and let you know
