I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $500 goes: • Towing and inspection: $40 • rear axle replacement (parts): $420 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 Thank you for reading my story.
