Help Aurora replace the suspension and return to work

Without my pickup Aurora can't work; a $1,050 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,050 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $790 • Labor charges: $100 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $90 • Towing and inspection: $70 Thank you so much. - Aurora
