Help Jose replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my food truck Jose can't work; a $2,000 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $2,000 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $410
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• Towing and inspection: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bandung.
