I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $160. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $160 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $95 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $5 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Take care, Shafiq. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

    • This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Hanoi this morning

      • good luck, Shafiq. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from San Francisco.
