I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,050 goes: โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $210 โ€ข Labor charges: $155 โ€ข transmission replacement (parts): $685 Every share and every dollar helps. - Franco
