My ride-share car: Aminata's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Aminata can't work; a $1,100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,100 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $610
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $80
If you're reading this, thank you.
