I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $900 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $360 • Labor charges: $310 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Emma
