Daniel needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Raleigh
Daniel drives for a living in Raleigh, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 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 $1,750 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,300
• Labor charges: $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Towing and inspection: $130
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Sacramento
Sending strength. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
You're not alone. Hope the shop reopens soon.
