Monica needs my food truck repaired to get back to work in București
Monica drives for a living in București, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇷🇴 București, Romania935 views
I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $50
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts, Monica. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of București.
