Emma needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Toledo
Without my taxi Emma can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $500 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $85
• Labor charges: $185
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Surat
Thinking of you, Emma. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
