My ride-share car: Maurício's only way to earn a living
Maurício drives for a living in Brasília, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 ten 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 $300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Maurício. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 21 people at work.
