I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $850
• Labor charges: $200
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $145
• Towing and inspection: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Málaga
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning. Thinking of Málaga.
thinking of you and your family, Beatriz. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together!
Sending love. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care!
