Get Mariana back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Mariana's my food truck is Mariana's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,250.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United States2,518 views
I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 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 $1,250 goes:
• Labor charges: $310
• Towing and inspection: $85
• suspension replacement (parts): $855
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Miami.
Hope things get better soon, Mariana. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Mariana. Small businesses are the heart of Miami. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together
Best of luck, Mariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Los Angeles.
