Help Gabriel replace the fuel pump and return to work

Without my food truck Gabriel can't work; a $1,250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 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 twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,250 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $610 • Labor charges: $320 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • Towing and inspection: $90 Every share and every dollar helps. - Gabriel

  • Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings

    • Sending strength, Gabriel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out

      • Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!

        • Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Limerick.

          • Take care, Gabriel. Small businesses are the heart of Laredo. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Laredo.

            • Keep going, Gabriel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

              • sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Take care!

                • Sending strength, Gabriel. Small businesses are the heart of Laredo. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
