Get Rivka back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Rivka's my taxi is Rivka's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $550.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 4 children. 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 $550 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Labor charges: $280
• Towing and inspection: $120
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Rivka
Small update. $128 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($107 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Addis Ababa.
Sending strength. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to La Plata so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Lagos.
