I make my living with my ride-share car. 12 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 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 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 $300 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $190 • Labor charges: $60 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $30 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  2. 36% there. I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Thank you.
