My food truck: Angela's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Angela can't work; a $850 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 $850 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $100
• Labor charges: $400
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $350
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best, Angela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Bronx!
Rooting for you, Angela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Iloilo City.
Best of luck, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Duque de Caxias
