My ride-share car: Elena's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Elena can't work; a $450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $450 goes:
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• rear axle replacement (parts): $280

Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Sherbrooke donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Elena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Nashik.
Hang in there, Elena. Hope you make a strong comeback
Hope it all works out, Elena. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you, Elena. This could happen to any of us. Love from Bogra.
Hope this works out for you. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Oakland.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Love from Pune.
sending love, Elena. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Islamabad.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
