I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 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 $1,500 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $970 • Labor charges: $185 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $290 • Towing and inspection: $55 Every share and every dollar helps. - Aditi

  2. Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($550). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.

  3. Update from Bellevue: I made the first payment toward suspension replacement. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
