Help Vino replace the suspension and return to work
Without my pickup Vino can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 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 2 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.
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): $200
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
How is Vino doing now?
Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Bekasi
hang in there, Vino. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Vino?

Thinking of you, Vino. Small businesses are the heart of Bekasi. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
