Help Valentina replace the suspension and return to work
Valentina drives for a living in Guarulhos, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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:
• Labor charges: $95
• Towing and inspection: $20
• suspension replacement (parts): $235
Thank you so much.

Take care, Valentina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Buenos Aires.
Stay strong, Valentina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Valentina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Makati.
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Guarulhos. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too

Hope the shop reopens soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Radom
Hang in there, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Thiruvananthapuram so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Valentina. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Mombasa.
