My pickup: Kylie's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Kylie can't work; a $2,050 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 $2,050. 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 nine 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 $2,050 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,550
• Labor charges: $370
• Towing and inspection: $130
With deep gratitude,
Kylie

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Peoria!
Thank you. If you're in Peoria I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Rooting for you, Kylie. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Brasília.
praying for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Peoria
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Coventry so I could bring a meal
