Teodoro needs my ride-share car repaired to get back to work in Detroit
Without my ride-share car Teodoro can't work; a $1,900 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 $1,900 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
