Get Noriko back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Noriko drives for a living in Tokyo, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇯🇵 Japan1,642 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,000 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $490
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
• Towing and inspection: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

How is Noriko doing now?
Wishing you peace. 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. God bless.
Keep going, Noriko. Small businesses are the heart of Tokyo. Hope you're open again soon. Take care
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. Love from Irapuato.
Praying for you, Noriko. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending good thoughts, Noriko. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Nagpur!
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Tokyo. I'll ask around and let you know!
