Get Manuela back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Without my taxi Manuela can't work; a $600 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 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 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 $600 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $400 • Labor charges: $55 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $95 • Towing and inspection: $50 Glad we found this place.
