My taxi: Andreea's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Andreea can't work; a $400 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• rear axle replacement (parts): $270
• Towing and inspection: $60
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Andreea. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
