Get Levi back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Levi's my taxi is Levi's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,550.
🇺🇸 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States1,536 views
I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $970
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Labor charges: $290
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
