My ride-share car: Christina's only way to earn a living

Without my ride-share car Christina can't work; a $1,200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,200 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $270 • Towing and inspection: $65 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $865 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Christina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($745 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              Sending strength, Christina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Saint Paul so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Stuttgart.
