I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Labor charges: $140
• Towing and inspection: $85
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Janet. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Miami but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Stay strong, Janet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Alcalá de Henares donated after I showed her your page.
sending love. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
