Get Chalida back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Chalida drives for a living in Bangkok, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 1 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 $300 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $175
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $5
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you, Chalida. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Bangkok.
Wishing you the best, Chalida. This could happen to any of us
so sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Bangkok.
