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

Without my taxi Imelda can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

🇵🇭 Philippines285 views
I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $350 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $250 • Towing and inspection: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
