I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Lukman
Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($168). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $135 raised so far (45%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Bandung: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Bari
