I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 eleven 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 $1,850 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $400
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $115
• Towing and inspection: $85
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Caoimhe
Good news. Because of your gifts ($11 in total) I made the first payment toward transmission replacement. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
