Help Pauline replace the gearbox and return to work
Pauline's my taxi is Pauline's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,350.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 1 children. 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 $1,350 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $115
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,050
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kochi!
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you, Pauline. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Coatzacoalcos but we're thinking of you. All the best.
