Get Michelle back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Michelle drives for a living in Sydney, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 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 $1,400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• transmission replacement (parts): $965
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Michelle
Good news. Because of your gifts ($291 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 13% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. More news soon.
