I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,600 goes: โ€ข Labor charges: $400 โ€ข gearbox replacement (parts): $1,050 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Addison. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

        • Sending love, Addison. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Caloocan.

              Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. Blessings!

              • Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
