My taxi: Chanida's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Chanida can't work; a $450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 ten 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 $450 goes:
• Labor charges: $65
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $330
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Chanida
Quick update: $95 raised so far (21%). I made the first payment toward labor charges. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Phuket: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 17% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 6% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
