I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 family of five. 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 $1,650 goes: • Towing and inspection: $80 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,340 If you're reading this, thank you. - Patrick
