Get Silas back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Silas drives for a living in Newport, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $850 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $400
• Labor charges: $145
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $75
Thanks for reading all this.
