Beatriz needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Ribeirão Preto

Without my taxi Beatriz can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

Ribeirão Preto

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 twelve 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 $500 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $310 • Labor charges: $85 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Towing and inspection: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
