My ride-share car: Bình's only way to earn a living
Bình drives for a living in Hồ Chí Minh City, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $150
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Bình. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
sending good thoughts, Bình. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
