Levi needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Glendale

Levi's my taxi is Levi's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $650.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 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 $650 goes: • Labor charges: $280 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $290 • Towing and inspection: $80 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Levi

Updates from Levi

  1. Update from Glendale: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 47% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $288 so far, I made the first payment toward labor charges.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.

      Keep going, Levi. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

        Best of luck, Levi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

          Best of luck, Levi. This could happen to any of us. Love from Lyon!

            Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. Take care.
