My ride-share car: Hitomi's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Hitomi can't work; a $1,400 repair would put her back on the road.
🇯🇵 Japan4,146 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 eleven 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 $1,400 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,050
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Labor charges: $205
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
