My food truck: Ebuka's only way to earn a living
Ebuka's my food truck is Ebuka's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Ebuka. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Accra.
Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bonny
Thank you. If you're in Bonny I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bonny
Sending good thoughts, Ebuka. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page.
looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
You're not alone, Ebuka. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Bonny.
Thanks for sharing this, Ebuka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kumasi this morning. Love from Kumasi.
