Get Lemi back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Lemi's my taxi is Lemi's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,600.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 1 children. 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 $1,600 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $1,200 • Labor charges: $175 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $130 • Towing and inspection: $95 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lemi
