Help Laura replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Laura's my food truck is Laura's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,850.

I make my living with my food truck. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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 $1,850 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,615
Thanks for being kind about this.

This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Dallas.
Wishing you peace, Laura. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
