I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $340
• Towing and inspection: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.
