Get Bennett back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Bennett can't work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $55
• Labor charges: $175
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Bennett. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Latina.

Thanks for sharing this, Bennett. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
