Get Long back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Long can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.
🇻🇳 Cần Thơ, Cần Thơ, Vietnam1,444 views
I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $80
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $40
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Any update on how things are going in Cần Thơ?
Sending good thoughts, Long. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal.
Keep going, Long. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Saint Paul
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Cần Thơ.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 18 people at work. Blessings.
Take care, Long. Small businesses are the heart of Cần Thơ. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Jakarta
