Get Kalyani back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Kalyani's my taxi is Kalyani's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $300.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 twelve 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 $300 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $40
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kalyani.
Sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. God bless.
Praying for you, Kalyani. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Sakai so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Kalyani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
