I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $300 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $190 • Labor charges: $55 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kalyani

Good news. Because of your gifts ($167 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($57 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
