Dolores's my ride-share car is Dolores's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,100.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 eleven 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 $1,100 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $770
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $205
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Small businesses are the heart of Austin. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Austin.
thanks for sharing this, Dolores. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. God bless
Keep going, Dolores. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Austin.
You're not alone, Dolores. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kathmandu but we're thinking of you
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Sheffield so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Dolores. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Colorado Springs.
