Help Kylie replace the suspension and return to work
Without my taxi Kylie can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,600 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,200
• Towing and inspection: $145
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $255
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Scranton.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Aberdeen
