Lorenzo needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Anaheim
Without my ride-share car Lorenzo cannot work; a $1,250 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States2,015 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Labor charges: $310
• suspension replacement (parts): $800
• Towing and inspection: $140
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lorenzo?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about labor charges, advice is welcome too.
So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Anaheim. Hope you're open again soon.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 17 people at work.
You're not alone, Lorenzo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ottawa.
Hang in there, Lorenzo. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Keep going, Lorenzo. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together
thinking of you. Hope you get there. Thinking of Anaheim
Sending love, Lorenzo. Shared it with a few friends
