Get Defne back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Defne's my ride-share car is Defne's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $400.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye272 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 ten 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 $400 goes:
• Labor charges: $55
• gearbox replacement (parts): $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Defne. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Istanbul
Thanks for sharing this, Defne. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Auckland
