My food truck: Szymon's only way to earn a living

Szymon drives for a living in Katowice, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 4 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $500 goes: • Labor charges: $115 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $360 • Towing and inspection: $25 Thank you for reading my story.

        Rooting for you, Szymon. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Katowice!

          • Amit L. Bansal

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
