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

I make my living with my food truck. 5 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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): $195
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

Quick update: $207 raised so far (83%). I made the first payment toward clutch assembly replacement. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Pune: I made the first payment toward labor charges. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
