My delivery van: Marcus's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Marcus can't work; a $700 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $700 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Labor charges: $380
• Towing and inspection: $160
With deep gratitude,
Marcus

praying for you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Los Angeles
gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from 6th of October City
