My food truck: Furkan's only way to earn a living
Furkan's my food truck is Furkan's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $400.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye476 views
I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $400 goes:
• Labor charges: $55
• transmission replacement (parts): $300
• Towing and inspection: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Istanbul
Wishing you peace, Furkan. Shared it with a few friends. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Epe.
