Anna needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Leeds
Anna drives for a living in Leeds, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom795 views
I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $650 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $380
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $115
• Towing and inspection: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love, Anna. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending strength, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Phuket.
So sorry you're going through this, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Leeds.
Thinking of you and your family, Anna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Anna. Shared it with a few friends.
You're not alone, Anna. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
