Paul needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Boulogne-Billancourt
Without my ride-share car Paul can't work; a $1,550 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $115
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Paul. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 12 people at work
Rooting for you, Paul. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Boulogne-Billancourt. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Hải Phòng this morning.
Rooting for you, Paul. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
