I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 twelve 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 $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $980
• Labor charges: $410
• Towing and inspection: $160
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Lucas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Liverpool so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Surat.
Wishing you the best, Lucas. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
