Get Ruma back on the road: my food truck repair fund

Without my food truck Ruma can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 2 children. 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 $200 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $135 • Labor charges: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Ruma

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($110 in total) I made the first payment toward labor charges. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
