Get Luiz back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Luiz drives for a living in Petrópolis, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $40
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
