Irene needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Envigado
Irene's my food truck is Irene's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $300.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 family of five. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $15
With deep gratitude,
Irene
Updates from Irene
Good news. Because of your gifts ($150 in total) the plan for rear axle replacement is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone, Irene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Praying for you, Irene. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
