I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the rear axle 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 eleven 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 $1,900 goes: • Towing and inspection: $140 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • rear axle replacement (parts): $1,510 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bennett

      Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

      • so sorry you're going through this, Bennett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of San Antonio.

        • Hang in there, Bennett. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
