My food truck: Enrique's only way to earn a living
Enrique drives for a living in San Sebastián, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 ten 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 $750 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Labor charges: $120
• gearbox replacement (parts): $485
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
