Get Okan back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Okan's my taxi is Okan's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $450.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye677 views
I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 three 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 $450 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $340
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

take care. Small businesses are the heart of Istanbul. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in Rome donated after I showed her your page. Take care
You're not alone, Okan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Chattogram.
