Get Nipa back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Nipa can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $210
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Labor charges: $20
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Nipa
Quick update: $167 raised so far (67%). the plan for clutch assembly replacement is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
56% there. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($104 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

This could happen to any of us. Love from Akron
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Prayagraj
Thank you. If you're in Prayagraj I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted.
hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
good luck, Nipa. Hope you get there. God bless
Rooting for you, Nipa. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Cairo.
