My food truck: Denise's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Denise can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,000 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $550
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $55
Glad we found this place.
