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

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the gearbox 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 3 children. 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 $1,900 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,250
• Labor charges: $260
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $140
Glad we found this place.

What exactly is the $1,900 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. gearbox replacement (parts) is the biggest at $1,250. It helps to be asked.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Augusta but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Love from Hialeah.
Sending love, Donna. Small businesses are the heart of Fort Worth. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
