Adrian needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles
Adrian drives for a living in Los Angeles, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $940
• Labor charges: $210
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $90

Updates from Adrian
Wanted to say thank you properly. 29% funded and I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($242). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward labor charges.

Thanks for sharing this, Adrian. Hope you get there.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Stay strong, Adrian. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
rooting for you, Adrian. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
