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.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Moscow, Russia1,256 views
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.

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
Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Moscow. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up
take care, Halyna. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Stay strong, Halyna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Halyna. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
keep going, Halyna. I hope things turn around soon
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Moscow
