I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $125
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $915
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
