My food truck: Shruthi's only way to earn a living
Shruthi's my food truck is Shruthi's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $300.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
