Get Olivier back on the road: my taxi repair fund

Without my taxi Olivier can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $500 goes: • Towing and inspection: $110 • Labor charges: $195 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $195 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Olivier
