Help Ruby replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my taxi Ruby can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 six 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 $1,000 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $630
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Semarang
Wishing you peace, Ruby. Hope the shop reopens soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Ruby. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Take care
