Get Anitha back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Without my taxi Anitha can't work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Pune.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Anitha?
Wishing you the best, Anitha. Looking forward to the next update!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anitha.
It's all in the list in the story. labor charges is the big one at $30, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon, Anitha. Shared this with my family. All the best
Rooting for you, Anitha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal. All the best.
