Help Camille replace the suspension and return to work

Without my ride-share car Camille can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 ten 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $150 goes: • Towing and inspection: $10 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 Glad we found this place.
