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

Soledad drives for a living in Envigado, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

Envigado
I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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 $350 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $180 • Labor charges: $90 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Soledad
