Get Pietro back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Pietro can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 six 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 $1,300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $700
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $70
Thank you so much.

Sending strength, Pietro. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Faisalabad this morning.
rooting for you, Pietro. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Nottingham.
Thanks for sharing this, Pietro. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Take care, Pietro. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Rome
