Get Carmen back on the road: my taxi repair fund

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $350 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $200 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $55 • Towing and inspection: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Carmen
