Help Melanie replace the transmission and return to work
Without my taxi Melanie cannot work; a $900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 twelve 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 $900 goes:
• Labor charges: $175
• Towing and inspection: $80
• transmission replacement (parts): $645
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
