Help Isabelle replace the transmission and return to work

Without my taxi Isabelle can't work; a $1,700 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 $1,700. 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 nine 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 $1,700 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $210 • Towing and inspection: $100 • transmission replacement (parts): $1,390 If you're reading this, thank you.

            Sending strength, Isabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Columbia.
