Get Christian back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Christian drives for a living in Braunschweig, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $850 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• suspension replacement (parts): $580
• Towing and inspection: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hope things get better soon, Christian. I hope things turn around soon. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you, Christian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
