Get Teresa back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Teresa drives for a living in Rome, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $900
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($698). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $698 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.
Quick update: $185 raised so far (15%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
