My ride-share car: Simiyu's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Simiyu can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
