I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $255. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $255 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ronke
Sure. The biggest one is suspension replacement (parts), $175. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings!
sending love, Ronke. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Port Harcourt
