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. - Lucas

    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.
