Sivan needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Jerusalem

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 six 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 $1,050 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $170 • transmission replacement (parts): $620 • Labor charges: $260 Glad we found this place.

        Thank you. If you're in Jerusalem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

    • Good luck, Sivan. Hope this works out for you. Take care.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sivan

        • Sivan ShapiroOwnerAnswerID verified

          Road tax and insurance renewal is $170 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

      • Sending good thoughts, Sivan. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Munich.

        • Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Jerusalem. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together. God bless.

          • sending love, Sivan. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Regensburg donated after I showed her your page. Take care
