Isabela needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Belo Horizonte
Isabela's my food truck is Isabela's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $450.
🇧🇷 Minas Gerais, Brazil1,457 views
I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 4 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 $450 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $270
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.
