I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $750 goes:
• Labor charges: $80
• Towing and inspection: $90
• transmission replacement (parts): $580
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Small businesses are the heart of Rome. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Lagos
Hang in there, Sergio. I hope things turn around soon. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Rome
you're not alone, Sergio. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 20 people at work.
