Help Claire replace the suspension and return to work
Claire's my delivery van is Claire's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $2,050.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States1,332 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,050. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $2,050 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Claire. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Oakland.
Sending good thoughts, Claire. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
So sorry you're going through this, Claire. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bogotá.
