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.
