Help Ali replace the suspension and return to work
Without my pickup Ali can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.
🇲🇦 Tangier, Tanger-Tetouan, Morocco591 views
I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($302 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $117 raised so far (47%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Ali

Thanks for sharing this, Ali. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Praying for you, Ali. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ali.
It's all in the list in the story. suspension replacement (parts) is the big one at $105, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Ali. Small businesses are the heart of Tangier. Hope you're open again soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

Wishing you the best, Ali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 9 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Tangier.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Keep going, Ali. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care
