Kavita needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in San Diego

Without my ride-share car Kavita can't work; a $1,200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 wife and our newborn. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,200 goes: • Towing and inspection: $90 • Labor charges: $140 • transmission replacement (parts): $970 Thank you for reading my story. - Kavita

Updates from Kavita

  1. Quick update: $401 raised so far (33%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($481 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($645). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
