My food truck: Oliver's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Oliver can't work; a $1,450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 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 $1,450 goes:
• Labor charges: $350
• suspension replacement (parts): $920
• Towing and inspection: $180
With deep gratitude,
Oliver

So sorry you're going through this, Oliver. Small businesses are the heart of Jacksonville. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Joliet!
Take care, Oliver. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Hope things get better soon, Oliver. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Jacksonville. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Stockholm
