Cameron needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles

Cameron drives for a living in Los Angeles, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 eleven 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. 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: • Labor charges: $210 • Towing and inspection: $100 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 If you're reading this, thank you.
