Get Ian back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Ian can't work; a $1,850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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 $1,850 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $280
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Ian. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
keep going, Ian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Take care, Ian. Hope you get there. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Sacramento. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Yogyakarta
Thinking of you, Ian. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Good luck, Ian. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mandurah.
Keep going, Ian. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
