My pickup: Fatma's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Fatma can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• suspension replacement (parts): $290
• Towing and inspection: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Coventry.
Thinking of you and your family, Fatma. Small businesses are the heart of Antalya. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Antalya.
Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Antalya.
sending love, Fatma. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
Praying for you, Fatma. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

Take care, Fatma. Small businesses are the heart of Antalya. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Antalya.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Embakasi.
