I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 nine 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 $550 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $350
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and the plan for suspension replacement is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
