My ride-share car: Joaquim's only way to earn a living

Without my ride-share car Joaquim can't work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the gearbox 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: • Towing and inspection: $25 • Labor charges: $50 • gearbox replacement (parts): $525 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
