Get Douglas back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Douglas cannot work; a $1,600 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,689 views
I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 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 $1,600 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $95
• Labor charges: $380
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
