Amanda needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Ribeirão Preto
Amanda drives for a living in Ribeirão Preto, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇧🇷 Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil694 views
I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 four 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 $650 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $420
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $30
Thank you so much.
