I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $600 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $160
• Labor charges: $295
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
wishing you peace, Gerald. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Diego.
Hope it all works out, Gerald. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Gerald. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Gerald. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
