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.
