Swati needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Mumbai
Without my ride-share car Swati can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 nine 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($175 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Kediri but we're thinking of you.
best of luck, Swati. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Paris so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Sending strength, Swati. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
