I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $170
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $770
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal.

Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Lafayette. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
