My pickup: Josephine's only way to earn a living
Josephine drives for a living in Gold Coast, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,850 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,200
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
