Hatice needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Kadıköy
Hatice drives for a living in Kadıköy, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Leicester
keep going. Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Rooting for you, Hatice. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
