Help Caleb replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my taxi Caleb can't work; a $2,000 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $2,000 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Caleb. Small businesses are the heart of San Diego. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bogotá.
