I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 1 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $850 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $540 • Labor charges: $140 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $120 • Towing and inspection: $50 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Aleksandra

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($545 in total) I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. We're at 75% thanks to 16 of you. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. More news soon.

    Sending good thoughts, Aleksandra. This could happen to any of us. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
