I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $550 goes:
• Labor charges: $280
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
With deep gratitude,
Isabel

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Tampa
