My taxi: Colm's only way to earn a living

Without my taxi Colm can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $500 goes: • Labor charges: $280 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $150 • Towing and inspection: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
