Help Francisca replace the suspension and return to work
Without my ride-share car Francisca can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.
🇧🇷 Brazil247 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 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 4 children. 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 $400 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $280
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Francisca
Quick update: $90 raised so far (23%). I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Small update. $70 so far, we've started the first stage.

Good luck, Francisca. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.
