My delivery van: Hailu's only way to earn a living
Hailu's my delivery van is Hailu's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $150.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia901 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 7 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $50
• suspension replacement (parts): $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Hailu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($68 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $118 raised so far (78%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Adama: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 82% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
