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

I make my living with my pickup. 3 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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:
• Labor charges: $65
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
With deep gratitude,
Alejandra

Thanks for sharing this, Alejandra. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
