I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the transmission 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Ssebuliba. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Durham.
Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Entebbe.
you're not alone, Ssebuliba. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
