Get Mercy back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Mercy's my pickup is Mercy's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $350.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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 $350 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $185 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
