My food truck: Yolanda's only way to earn a living
Yolanda drives for a living in Córdoba, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $195
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Yolanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Campinas
Stay strong, Yolanda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
hope the shop reopens soon. After 27 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Milan.
