Herman needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Manila
Without my food truck Herman can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the gearbox 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 family of five. 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.
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:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $25
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Herman. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Manila. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Manila
Wishing you peace, Herman. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Manila.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Dhaka but we're thinking of you.
Keep going, Herman. Hope you get there. Greetings from San Jose.
