My food truck: Musa's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Musa can't work; a $100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 1 children. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Labor charges: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Musa. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Epe.
