Help Fabian replace the suspension and return to work

Fabian drives for a living in Frankfurt, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 four 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 $1,100 goes: • Towing and inspection: $125 • suspension replacement (parts): $680 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $295 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
