My taxi: Anika's only way to earn a living

Without my taxi Anika can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 3 children. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $150 goes: • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $80 • Labor charges: $30 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Anika

    Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
