My taxi: Claire's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Claire can't work; a $1,900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $300
• Towing and inspection: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Claire. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
sending love, Claire. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Thinking of San Francisco.
Good luck, Claire. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
hope things get better soon, Claire. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
