Get Levi back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Levi's my ride-share car is Levi's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,350.
🇺🇸 Ohio, United States419 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 eleven 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 $1,350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $950
• Labor charges: $210
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $125
• Towing and inspection: $65
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Toledo. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Yogyakarta this morning. Blessings.
