Help Ronaldo replace the suspension and return to work
Ronaldo drives for a living in Caxias do Sul, 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 $650. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $650 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $390
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli
Small businesses are the heart of Caxias do Sul. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Miami
hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Ribeirão Preto but we're thinking of you. Love from Ribeirão Preto
Keep going, Ronaldo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Stay strong, Ronaldo. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Savannah so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Ronaldo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Caxias do Sul.
hope things get better soon, Ronaldo. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
