Get Ties back on the road: my ride-share car repair fund
Without my ride-share car Ties can't work; a $1,150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $830
• Labor charges: $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $50
Thanks for reading all this.

you're not alone, Ties. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Dallas!
How is Ties doing now?
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Islamabad.
Hang in there, Ties. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you and your family, Ties. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Surabaya.
