My taxi: Atul's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Atul can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Atul?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clutch assembly replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going, Atul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Take care. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Baton Rouge so I could bring a meal. Love from Miami!
Hope it all works out. Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
