Fabian needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Frankfurt
Without my food truck Fabian can't work; a $1,100 repair would put him back on the road.

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 $1,100. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,100 goes:
• Labor charges: $100
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $860
• Towing and inspection: $140
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Keep going, Fabian. Hope you make a strong comeback. Blessings
thinking of you, Fabian. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone, Fabian. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
