I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 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 $1,400 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $920
• Labor charges: $145
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $155
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Colton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne.
