Get Wendy back on the road: my taxi repair fund
Without my taxi Wendy can't work; a $1,300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 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 $1,300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $670
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $200
Thank you so much.
