Daniel needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Anaheim
Daniel drives for a living in Anaheim, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $950. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $950 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $570
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Labor charges: $130
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Daniel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Jinja.
Take care, Daniel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Anaheim
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. Blessings.
