Mauricio needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Bilbao
Without my taxi Mauricio can't work; a $1,350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 three 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 $1,350 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Mauricio. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Rawalpindi this morning. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Mauricio. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Sending strength, Mauricio. Hope the shop reopens soon.
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Memphis so I could bring a meal.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Bergamo.
