I make my living with my food truck. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 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 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $340
• Towing and inspection: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there, André. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Stay strong, André. Small businesses are the heart of Maringá. Hope you're open again soon. Take care!
Good luck, André. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Thinking of you, André. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Keep going, André. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
Praying for you, André. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Bekasi.
Wishing you the best, André. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Cork so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Maringá.
