My ride-share car: Patrick's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Patrick can't work; a $1,950 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,450
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $140
• Towing and inspection: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Patrick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
You're not alone. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
