Get Buddhini back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund

Without my ride-share car Buddhini can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 2 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 $200 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $105 • Labor charges: $50 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $20 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Buddhini

  • Best of luck, Buddhini. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
