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

Without my ride-share car Irena can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $250 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $105 • Labor charges: $95 • Towing and inspection: $50 Glad we found this place. - Irena

      Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles.

          Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Mobile so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Poznań
