Get Avery back on the road: my food truck repair fund

Avery drives for a living in Fresno, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,050. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $2,050 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $1,250 • Labor charges: $390 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $260 • Towing and inspection: $150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
