I make my living with my delivery van. 5 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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: • suspension replacement (parts): $80 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $5 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
