I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 2 children. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $10
Thanks for reading all this.

Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($26). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
