Help Bethlehem replace the transmission and return to work
Without my food truck Bethlehem can't work; a $205 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 ten 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 $205 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $175
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
