I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $255. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $255 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $5

how is Mwende doing now?
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. All the best!
take care, Mwende. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings!
You're not alone, Mwende. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
thinking of you, Mwende. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Eldoret.
