My ride-share car: Mauricio's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Mauricio can't work; a $650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
• Towing and inspection: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Bronx.
