Help Lauren replace the suspension and return to work

Without my tuk-tuk Lauren can't work; a $900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 six 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 $900 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $130 • suspension replacement (parts): $620 • Labor charges: $150 Thank you for reading my story. - Lauren
