Get Declan back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Declan can't work; a $1,050 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,050 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $510
• Towing and inspection: $145
• Labor charges: $395
Thank you so much.

Updates from Declan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($237 in total) the plan for suspension replacement is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Pretoria this morning. God bless
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Pasig.
Praying for you, Declan. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up!
thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Declan. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bakersfield!
Thinking of you and your family, Declan. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Good luck, Declan. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
