Get Bo-ra back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Bo-ra's my ride-share car is Bo-ra's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,050.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 eleven 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 $1,050 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $870
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
I hope life is good to you.

wishing you peace. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Seoul!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gearbox replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone, Bo-ra. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Bo-ra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
