Get Rodrigo back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Rodrigo's my taxi is Rodrigo's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $300.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
