Help Madelyn replace the suspension and return to work

Madelyn drives for a living in Fresno, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 eleven 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 $1,700 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $320 • suspension replacement (parts): $1,250 • Towing and inspection: $130 Thanks for reading all this.
