Get Ngozika back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Ngozika can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $20
• suspension replacement (parts): $185
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Ngozika
Good news. Because of your gifts ($115 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 55% now ($138). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Ngozika. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Wishing you the best, Ngozika. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lagos.
rooting for you, Ngozika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 24 people at work. Thinking of Lagos
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Sydney but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Lagos.
So sorry you're going through this, Ngozika. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Blessings.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Lagos.
