I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $250 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Sent it to 28 people at work. Take care
Hope it all works out, Uma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
You're not alone, Uma. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Uma. Hope this works out for you!
