Get Takashi back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Takashi's my taxi is Takashi's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $650.
Anywhere in the world1,614 views
I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $650 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $440
• Labor charges: $150
• Towing and inspection: $60

Sending strength, Takashi. I hope things turn around soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Takashi?
Thank you. If you're in Sakai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 8 people at work
thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Sending love, Takashi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Sakai.
