Help Raymond replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my taxi Raymond can't work; a $1,100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• rear axle replacement (parts): $860
Glad we found this place.
