Get Delilah back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund

Delilah's my ride-share car is Delilah's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,650.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 2 children. 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 $1,650 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $1,050 • Labor charges: $230 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $240 • Towing and inspection: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
