Get Michael back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Michael's my taxi is Michael's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,200.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $630
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Towing and inspection: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
