Oshadi needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Negombo

Oshadi drives for a living in Negombo, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $350 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $260 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 • Towing and inspection: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Oshadi

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oshadi.

    • Oshadi Yashodha RajapaksaOwnerAnswer

      Clutch assembly replacement (parts) is $260 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

        Rooting for you, Oshadi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

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

              You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Negombo.

                  good luck, Oshadi. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

                    Best of luck, Oshadi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
