I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $50 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Labor charges: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
