I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $105. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $105 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $80
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going, Kumar. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Kumar. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
