My ride-share car: Daniel's only way to earn a living
Daniel's my ride-share car is Daniel's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $300.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya1,231 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $10
• transmission replacement (parts): $240
With deep gratitude,
Daniel

Praying for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Nairobi
Take care, Daniel. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Agra.
