I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 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 $400 goes: • Labor charges: $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • suspension replacement (parts): $275 Thank you so much.

Updates from Brandon

  1. Update from Pretoria: I made the first payment toward suspension replacement. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
