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

Without my food truck Cristian can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $500 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $330 • Labor charges: $60 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 • Towing and inspection: $35 Glad we found this place.

    Rooting for you, Cristian. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Multan so I could bring a meal. All the best!
