Help Haile replace the suspension and return to work

Without my ride-share car Haile can't work; a $50 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 $50. 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 twelve 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 $50 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Labor charges: $15 Every share and every dollar helps. - Haile

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Haile.

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. road tax and insurance renewal comes first ($20) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.

      • Hope it all works out, Haile. Small businesses are the heart of Bahir Dar. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
