Get Tariq back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Tariq drives for a living in Mansoura, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the gearbox 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $35
• gearbox replacement (parts): $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Tariq
Small update. $15 so far, I made the first payment toward labor charges.
Update from Mansoura: the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Tariq
