Wesley needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in San Jose
Without my food truck Wesley can't work; a $1,450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,450 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $930
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going, Wesley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Jaffna.
Take care, Wesley. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 37 people at work.
