Help Randall replace the suspension and return to work
Randall drives for a living in Birmingham, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $550 goes:
• Labor charges: $260
• Towing and inspection: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
