Get Shakil back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Shakil's my ride-share car is Shakil's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $100.
🇮🇳 Dwarka, Delhi, India2,107 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Labor charges: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dwarka.
Wishing you the best, Shakil. Small businesses are the heart of Dwarka. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Pittsburgh
Keep going. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Dwarka
Hang in there, Shakil. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Shakil. Your post was clear and honest
Good luck, Shakil. Looking forward to the next update
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you
Hope things get better soon, Shakil. Small businesses are the heart of Dwarka. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you, Shakil. Hope you get there. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Shakil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Sending strength, Shakil. Small businesses are the heart of Dwarka. Hope you're open again soon.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
