Dylan needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Erie
Dylan drives for a living in Erie, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
