Get Madeline back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Madeline cannot work; a $650 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 twelve 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 $650 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $160
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
