My food truck: Ittipol's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Ittipol can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the suspension 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 ten 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 $250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you the best, Ittipol. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ittipol
It's all in the list in the story. suspension replacement (parts) is the big one at $120, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Bangkok.
Hope it all works out, Ittipol. Shared this with my family. Take care
hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
Rooting for you, Ittipol. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Love from Gazipur.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
