Get Jan back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Jan's my food truck is Jan's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,550.
🇳🇱 Netherlands2,142 views
I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,550 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
