I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $750 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $135
• suspension replacement (parts): $470
• Labor charges: $145
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leonardo
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. towing and inspection is the biggest at $135. Fair thing to want to know.
Rooting for you, Leonardo. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in İzmir donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Leeds.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Leonardo?
Thank you. If you're in Leeds I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best, Leonardo. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Edinburgh so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Leonardo. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
