My food truck: Brooklyn's only way to earn a living
Brooklyn's my food truck is Brooklyn's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,450.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,450 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $770
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
