My pickup: Pablo's only way to earn a living

Pablo drives for a living in Bogotá, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 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 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 $350 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $230 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 • Labor charges: $45 With deep gratitude, Pablo
