My food truck: Marcel's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Marcel can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇳🇱 Netherlands993 views
I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,300 goes:
• Labor charges: $220
• Towing and inspection: $90
• suspension replacement (parts): $990
Every share and every dollar helps.

How is Marcel doing now?
Keep going. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours
Keep going, Marcel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Marcel?
Thank you. If you're in Amsterdam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Warangal this morning.
Stay strong, Marcel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you
Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Stay strong, Marcel. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Guarulhos donated after I showed her your page.
