Get Hülya back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Without my taxi Hülya cannot work; a $405 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $405. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $405 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $270
• Labor charges: $90
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Hülya
Good news. Because of your gifts ($186 in total) the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($96). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
