Get Mia back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Mia can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 twelve 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 $1,600 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $190
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thanks for reading all this.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Zanzibar City
Take care. This could happen to any of us. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Sending love, Mia. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Take care, Mia. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Seattle.
Sending strength, Mia. Hope you get there. God bless
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Seattle.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Seattle!
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Love from Lagos
praying for you, Mia. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bari
