I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,100 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • Towing and inspection: $110 • suspension replacement (parts): $740 With deep gratitude, Adeline

Updates from Adeline

  1. Small update. $745 so far, the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 49% now ($535). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 29% funded and we've started the first stage. - Adeline
