Zoey's my ride-share car is Zoey's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,750.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,750 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $180
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $35
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Zoey
Good news. Because of your gifts ($386 in total) the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Zoey. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of New York.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoey
Sure. The biggest one is gearbox replacement (parts), $1,350. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out, Zoey. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope April is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Sending strength, Zoey. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Zoey. Looking forward to the next update.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from London
