My ride-share car: Leonardo's only way to earn a living
Leonardo's my ride-share car is Leonardo's only source of income and needs a fuel pump replacement costing $1,600.
🇺🇸 Detroit, Michigan, United States2,733 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $810
• Labor charges: $410
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $170
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
