I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 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 $700 goes: • Labor charges: $380 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $220 • Towing and inspection: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Sending strength, Natalia. Small businesses are the heart of Lafayette. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
