Get Landon back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Landon's my food truck is Landon's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $2,000.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand2,355 views
I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $350
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $180
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Landon
Small update. $748 so far, I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 29% funded and I made the first payment toward labor charges.
Update from Auckland: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 19% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Peoria

Thinking of you and your family, Landon. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
