I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,100 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $610 • Labor charges: $180 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $180 • Towing and inspection: $130 Thanks for reading all this. - Lourdes

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lourdes.

    • Lourdes G. BravoOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is transmission replacement (parts), $610. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

  • Eduardo E. BravoAddress verified

    Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kharkiv.

    • Charlotte H. Mejia

      Thinking of you, Lourdes. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes

      • Latha N. Krishnan

        You're not alone, Lourdes. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

        • Byaruhanga Dennis Byaruhanga

          Take care, Lourdes. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

          • Patrícia Mariana Vasconcelos

            Best of luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
