Help Anil replace the suspension and return to work
Anil drives for a living in Tiruchirappalli, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $55
• Towing and inspection: $15
• suspension replacement (parts): $130
With deep gratitude,
Anil

Stay strong, Anil. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Hang in there, Anil. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rohini.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless!
hope it all works out, Anil. Small businesses are the heart of Tiruchirappalli. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Savar.
Thanks for sharing this, Anil. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli.
You're not alone, Anil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
