My ride-share car: Sudha's only way to earn a living
Without my ride-share car Sudha can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $350 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Howrah!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transmission replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you, Sudha. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hang in there, Sudha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Stay strong, Sudha. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Accra.
sending love, Sudha. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
