Bruno needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Niterói
Without my taxi Bruno can't work; a $550 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $550 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $420
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $25
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Bruno. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Brisbane
Sending love, Bruno. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Niterói.
