Get Cláudio back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Cláudio can't work; a $700 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $700 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $450
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $70
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

praying for you, Cláudio. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jeddah.
Wishing you peace, Cláudio. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Juiz de Fora.
