Help Shapla replace the transmission and return to work

Without my taxi Shapla can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 six 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 $200 goes: • Towing and inspection: $10 • Labor charges: $30 • transmission replacement (parts): $160 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Shapla
