Lincoln needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Newcastle
Without my ride-share car Lincoln can't work; a $1,350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 ten 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 $1,350 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $840
• Labor charges: $135
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Lincoln. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
you're not alone, Lincoln. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Newcastle
