I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $400 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $270
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Rabat
Thank you. If you're in Rabat I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
stay strong. Shared this with my family. God bless
how is Damien doing now?
Small businesses are the heart of Rabat. Hope you're open again soon.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Dodoma donated after I showed her your page. Take care
