Help Adriana replace the suspension and return to work
Adriana's my food truck is Adriana's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $400.
🇲🇽 Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico2,127 views
I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 four 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 $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• suspension replacement (parts): $270
• Towing and inspection: $30
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Adriana. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
shared this with my family. We're a small family in Corpus Christi but we're thinking of you.
Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Worcester but we're thinking of you. Take care!
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Kanpur.
Small businesses are the heart of Mérida. Hope you're open again soon. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Mérida. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
