My food truck: Kehinde's only way to earn a living
Kehinde's my food truck is Kehinde's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• gearbox replacement (parts): $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
