Help Leyla replace the suspension and return to work
Leyla drives for a living in Ankara, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $400 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Labor charges: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.

Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ankara.
So sorry you're going through this, Leyla. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Any update on how things are going in Ankara?
Hope things get better soon, Leyla. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leyla
It's all in the list in the story. suspension replacement (parts) is the big one at $270, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Shared this with my family. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Leyla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Good luck, Leyla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Wishing you peace, Leyla. Small businesses are the heart of Ankara. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Leyla. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Manila
