Get Jana back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Without my pickup Jana can't work; a $1,500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 ten 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 $1,500 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $1,200 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 • Labor charges: $185 Thank you so much.

Updates from Jana

  1. 14% there. the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Update from Wiesbaden: the plan for suspension replacement is now scheduled. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
