Help Gabriella replace the transmission and return to work
Without my taxi Gabriella can't work; a $650 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 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 $650 goes:
• Labor charges: $310
• Towing and inspection: $145
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
I hope life is good to you.

thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bursa.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriella
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. labor charges comes first ($310) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Take care, Gabriella. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Hang in there, Gabriella. This could happen to any of us. Love from Davao City.
