Christian needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Leicester
Without my ride-share car Christian can't work; a $850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 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 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 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 $850 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $480
• Labor charges: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Towing and inspection: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

thinking of you, Christian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Accra
Rooting for you, Christian. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
Wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Leicester.
