Shirley's my ride-share car is Shirley's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $1,650.
🇺🇸 United States865 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,650 goes:
• Labor charges: $300
• Towing and inspection: $125
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,225
Thank you for reading my story.
