Get Uchenna back on the road: my food truck repair fund
Without my food truck Uchenna can't work; a $100 repair would put him 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 $100. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $50
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Uchenna
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Badagry.
So sorry you're going through this, Uchenna. Hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings.
