Help Carlos replace the suspension and return to work
Without my ride-share car Carlos can't work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 three 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 $450 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $270
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page.
