Travis needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Birmingham
Travis drives for a living in Birmingham, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,350
Thanks for reading all this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
you're not alone, Travis. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 31 people at work. Thinking of Birmingham.
Hope it all works out. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

Hang in there, Travis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kharkiv.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Pokhara.
Stay strong, Travis. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
