Kaan needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Bornova
Kaan drives for a living in Bornova, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 nine 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 $450 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Kaan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
