Get Maryam back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Maryam drives for a living in Riyadh, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $830
• Labor charges: $130
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Maryam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 34 people at work. Love from Nagoya!
Praying for you, Maryam. 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. All the best
You're not alone, Maryam. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Keep going, Maryam. Hope you get there. Thinking of Riyadh.

Thinking of you. Small businesses are the heart of Riyadh. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Setagaya.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Giza.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Sending strength, Maryam. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Feira de Santana this morning. Thinking of Riyadh
