Hannah needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Tel Aviv

Hannah drives for a living in Tel Aviv, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 4 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,000 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $500 • Labor charges: $260 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $155 • Towing and inspection: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hannah

Updates from Hannah

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($715 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
