Get Emma back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Emma can't work; a $900 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 $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $900 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $660
• Labor charges: $130
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Emma. Hope the shop reopens soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Emma?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transmission replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Adelaide this morning. Take care.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.

You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier
