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

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,600 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $155
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Paisley. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
