Emilia needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Nuremberg
Without my taxi Emilia can't work; a $1,500 repair would put her back on the road.
🇩🇪 Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany1,289 views
I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,500 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $140
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,260
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Emilia. Small businesses are the heart of Nuremberg. Hope you're open again soon. God bless!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Emilia!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. towing and inspection is the biggest at $140. Let me know if you want more detail.
Stay strong, Emilia. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Paarl but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Keep going, Emilia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Nuremberg
Stay strong, Emilia. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 27 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
