My food truck: Tolga's only way to earn a living
Tolga drives for a living in Üsküdar, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 four 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 $350 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
