Flávio needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Recife
Flávio drives for a living in Recife, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the gearbox 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $650 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $430
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $85
• Towing and inspection: $20
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
Best of luck, Flávio. Shared this with my family.
