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

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 twelve 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 $350 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $180 • Labor charges: $50 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 • Towing and inspection: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kawasaki.

        Take care, Gabriela. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal
