Help Ratul replace the transmission and return to work

Without my food truck Ratul can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 eleven 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $150 goes: โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 โ€ข transmission replacement (parts): $90 โ€ข Labor charges: $30 Thank you for reading my story.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
