I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,400 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $960 • Labor charges: $175 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $185 • Towing and inspection: $80 I hope life is good to you. - Harold
