Get Mina back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Mina drives for a living in Kathmandu, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.
