My food truck: Arif's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Arif can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 six 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 $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Novosibirsk but we're thinking of you. All the best
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Take care
