Get Terry back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Terry can't work; a $1,550 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 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 $1,550 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $810
• Labor charges: $390
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $165
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up!
Sending strength, Terry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thinking of you, Terry. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Hialeah.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
