My food truck: Reza's only way to earn a living
Without my food truck Reza can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
