My food truck: Cesar's only way to earn a living
Cesar's my food truck is Cesar's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $250.

I make my living with my food truck. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• suspension replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
