Get Mihret back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Mihret drives for a living in Hawassa, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇪🇹 Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia995 views
I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $30
• transmission replacement (parts): $145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
