Get Tae-yang back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Tae-yang drives for a living in Mapo, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $950. 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 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 $950 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $115
• gearbox replacement (parts): $665
Thank you for reading my story.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
