My delivery van: Aster's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Aster can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 eleven 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5

Sending good thoughts, Aster. Hope this works out for you. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
