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

Without my food truck Waleed can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 $150 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $85 • Towing and inspection: $20 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Waleed

              praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

                Good luck, Waleed. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rohini.

                  hang in there, Waleed. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Zagazig!
