Help Rubina replace the gearbox and return to work
Rubina's my food truck is Rubina's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Dnipro but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Coventry donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai.
Keep going, Rubina. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning. Love from Leeds.
Wishing you peace, Rubina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Jimma

good luck, Rubina. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Rohini so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Sending strength, Rubina. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Birmingham
