Mia needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in London
Without my taxi Mia can't work; a $1,700 repair would put her back on the road.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,573 views
I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $280
• Towing and inspection: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Mia. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Keep going, Mia. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
So sorry you're going through this, Mia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Thinking of you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Praying for you, Mia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Gulu
Take care, Mia. Small businesses are the heart of London. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of London.
Rooting for you, Mia. Hope you make a strong comeback. Blessings.
