Get Tetiana back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Without my taxi Tetiana can't work; a $1,050 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 ten 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 $1,050 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $600
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tetiana
It's all in the list in the story. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) is the big one at $600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
