Help Tippawan replace the suspension and return to work
Tippawan drives for a living in Bang Khen, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 6 weeks.
🇹🇭 Bang Khen, Bangkok, Thailand1,286 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 6 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 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.
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: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Tippawan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about suspension replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Tippawan. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kota.
Hang in there, Tippawan. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Los Angeles
how is Tippawan doing now?
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Bang Khen. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tippawan
Suspension replacement (parts) is $220 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Hope you make a strong comeback. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Tippawan. Small businesses are the heart of Bang Khen. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. God bless!
