Help Oanh replace the suspension and return to work
Oanh drives for a living in Cần Thơ, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $85
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending good thoughts, Oanh. This could happen to any of us. Love from Bornova
So sorry you're going through this, Oanh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
thinking of you, Oanh. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Oanh. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oanh.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. suspension replacement (parts) comes first ($85) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
you're not alone, Oanh. Small businesses are the heart of Cần Thơ. Hope you're open again soon.
Best of luck, Oanh. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 13 people at work. Take care!
Sending love, Oanh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
hope it all works out, Oanh. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope things get better soon, Oanh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kampala.
You're not alone, Oanh. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal
