Julieta needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Guadalupe

Without my taxi Julieta cannot work; a $600 repair would put her back on the road.

Guadalupe
I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 wife and our newborn. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $600 goes: โ€ข radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $350 โ€ข Labor charges: $125 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $65 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
