Get Ji-yeon back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Ji-yeon drives for a living in Seoul, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea2,032 views
I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,000 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $620
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
