Help Sibel replace the suspension and return to work
Sibel drives for a living in Kadıköy, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye1,394 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $500 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $340
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.
