My ride-share car: Leonid's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Leonid can't work; a $400 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $400 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best, Leonid. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best
Keep going, Leonid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal.
sending strength, Leonid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
