My food truck: Jayden's only way to earn a living
Jayden drives for a living in Coventry, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom489 views
I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,500 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $920
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $115
• Towing and inspection: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
