Get Yiğit back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Yiğit drives for a living in Istanbul, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
Updates from Yiğit
Quick update: $110 raised so far (28%). I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
We're at 23% thanks to 2 of you. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yiğit
Gearbox replacement (parts) is $250 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
