Help Jimena replace the suspension and return to work
Without my taxi Jimena can't work; a $800 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $800 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $320
• Labor charges: $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Jimena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Móstoles.
