Brenda needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in London
Without my taxi Brenda cannot work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Labor charges: $120
• Towing and inspection: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Brenda. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Brenda. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Sending strength, Brenda. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hang in there, Brenda. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care
