Jayden needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Houston
Jayden drives for a living in Houston, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 3 weeks.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States1,727 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the suspension 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,750 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,300
• Labor charges: $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $105
With deep gratitude,
Jayden

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jayden.
Suspension replacement (parts) is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Jayden. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Houston.
Good luck, Jayden. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Jayden. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you.

Take care, Jayden. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
