Get Manikandan back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Manikandan cannot work; a $100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Labor charges: $55
• Towing and inspection: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Manikandan
Good news. Because of your gifts ($103 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 58% now ($58). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 45% funded and I made the first payment toward labor charges.

Hang in there, Manikandan. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
So sorry you're going through this, Manikandan. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Keep going, Manikandan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
