Get Alexander back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Alexander's my food truck is Alexander's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $300.
Anywhere in the world1,248 views
I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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 six 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 $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
