Colleen needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Kilkenny
Without my delivery van Colleen can't work; a $1,450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,450 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $920
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $175
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

keep going. This could happen to any of us. Love from Kraków.
So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Kilkenny. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Colleen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
