My taxi: Guilherme's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Guilherme can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the rear axle 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $500 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $380
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Guarulhos
stay strong, Guilherme. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Niterói
