I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $650
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $80

Sending strength, Markus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hang in there, Markus. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Lille.
stay strong, Markus. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
