Luciana needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in Niterói
Luciana drives for a living in Niterói, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the suspension 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $35
• suspension replacement (parts): $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Luciana. Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this, Luciana. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Rawalpindi but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Luciana. Small businesses are the heart of Niterói. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 38 people at work. Greetings from Karachi.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tampa.
Sending strength, Luciana. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. God bless
