Get Flávio back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Without my taxi Flávio can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the transmission 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 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. 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: • Towing and inspection: $15 • Labor charges: $110 • transmission replacement (parts): $225 With deep gratitude, Flávio

  • Stay strong. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
