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

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $110
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $50
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Liverpool but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Praying for you, Arthur. Hope you get there. Love from Kathmandu.
Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lagos.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Birmingham
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
