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

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

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,200 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $470 • Labor charges: $340 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $280 • Towing and inspection: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Emery
