Get Ángel back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Ángel's my taxi is Ángel's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $450.
🇨🇴 Colombia525 views
I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $450 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $290
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Bogotá.
Keep going, Ángel. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Bogotá.
Sending good thoughts, Ángel. Your post was clear and honest
Hope it all works out, Ángel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Bogotá. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Addis Ababa so I could bring a meal
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hang in there, Ángel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
