Help Pravin replace the suspension and return to work
Pravin drives for a living in Pietermaritzburg, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $350 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you and your family, Pravin. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg.
you're not alone, Pravin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
