Help Madhavan replace the suspension and return to work
Without my pickup Madhavan cannot work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending good thoughts, Madhavan. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Madhavan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Lucknow. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Iztapalapa.
wishing you the best, Madhavan. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you, Madhavan. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless!
Hope things get better soon, Madhavan. Hope you get there. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne
Sending love. Hope you make a strong comeback. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Mandeville.
