My taxi: Ashok's only way to earn a living
Ashok's my taxi is Ashok's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $550.
🇨🇦 Canada1,744 views
I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $550 goes:
• Labor charges: $300
• Towing and inspection: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
Every share and every dollar helps.

how is Ashok doing now?
Hang in there, Ashok. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from San Jose.
hang in there, Ashok. Hope you make a strong comeback!
So sorry you're going through this, Ashok. Small businesses are the heart of Calgary. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Augusta.
Hang in there, Ashok. Small businesses are the heart of Calgary. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Montpellier but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Ashok. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care
