Get Jack back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Jack can't work; a $700 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 three 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 $700 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Labor charges: $250
• Towing and inspection: $180
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Jack
Good news. Because of your gifts ($417 in total) the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hang in there. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nagpur.
Small businesses are the heart of Aurora. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Aurora.
Thinking of you, Jack. Hope this works out for you. All the best
