My ride-share car: Ewa's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Ewa can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 family of five. 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 $350 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $85
• suspension replacement (parts): $215
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 32 people at work. All the best.
sending love, Ewa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. God bless
You're not alone, Ewa. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
