Help Alexa replace the suspension and return to work
Without my delivery van Alexa can't work; a $1,850 repair would put her back on the road.
🇺🇸 United States577 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $95
Every share and every dollar helps.
