Help Josephine replace the suspension and return to work
Josephine's my taxi is Josephine's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,650.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 twelve 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 $1,650 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $120
• Towing and inspection: $130
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you and your family, Josephine. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Josephine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings!
Stay strong, Josephine. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
