Huy needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in San Francisco

Without my taxi Huy can't work; a $1,450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 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 $1,450 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $1,050 • Labor charges: $155 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $150 • Towing and inspection: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Huy
