Alexa needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Liverpool
Alexa drives for a living in Liverpool, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $60
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,010
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Liverpool. Hope you're open again soon.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Liverpool!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Liverpool.
Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
