Ellie needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Geelong
Without my ride-share car Ellie can't work; a $1,900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $330
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
