My ride-share car: Arianna's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Arianna can't work; a $1,600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 six 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 $1,600 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Arianna. Small businesses are the heart of Corpus Christi. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Corpus Christi
This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Corpus Christi.

Thinking of you, Arianna. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nakhon Ratchasima.
