Get Deepak back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Deepak's my taxi is Deepak's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 4 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $200 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • transmission replacement (parts): $130 • Towing and inspection: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Thinking of you, Deepak. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Salem.
