Get Karl back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Karl drives for a living in Hannover, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇩🇪 Germany2,564 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,600 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $75
Thank you so much.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hannover!
Thank you. If you're in Hannover I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
how is Karl doing now?
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Coatzacoalcos
Take care, Karl. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care
Good luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Hannover
