Get Pratik back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Without my taxi Pratik can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Pratik. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Birmingham.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nice.
