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

Without my ride-share car Josefa can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $350 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $80 • rear axle replacement (parts): $195 • Labor charges: $75 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

you're not alone. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
