My pickup: Stella's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Stella can't work; a $1,450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Labor charges: $360
• suspension replacement (parts): $945
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
