Get Kaan back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Kaan's my taxi is Kaan's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $450.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,691 views
I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 ten 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 $450 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $340
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $10
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kaan?
Thank you. If you're in Istanbul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Istanbul.
So sorry you're going through this, Kaan. Small businesses are the heart of Istanbul. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Istanbul
