Help Kasun replace the suspension and return to work

Without my ride-share car Kasun can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $155 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $10 If you're reading this, thank you.
