I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Labor charges: $60
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $195
• Towing and inspection: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Vũ. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vũ?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about labor charges, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
You're not alone, Vũ. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
