My ride-share car: Gökhan's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Gökhan can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $150 goes:
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
