I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $550 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Philadelphia.
So sorry you're going through this, Leonardo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Caruaru. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Caruaru.
Hang in there, Leonardo. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Caruaru.
