Get Rachel back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Rachel can't work; a $1,800 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,800 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Rachel. Hope you get there. God bless
Sending love, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Albuquerque.

Hope it all works out, Rachel. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 8 people at work. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Albuquerque
