My food truck: Darshan's only way to earn a living
Darshan drives for a living in Dwarka, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Darshan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Dwarka. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Gazipur.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
