My taxi: Nicola's only way to earn a living
Nicola drives for a living in Bergamo, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
Updates from Nicola
Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and I made the first payment toward transmission replacement. - Nicola
Good news. Because of your gifts ($170 in total) I made the first payment toward towing and inspection. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Nicola. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Thessaloniki.
