Get Sohel back on the road: my food truck repair fund

Without my food truck Sohel can't work; a $1,000 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,000 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $480 • Labor charges: $260 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $170 • Towing and inspection: $90 If you're reading this, thank you. - Sohel

    Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
