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

Without my taxi Ning can't work; a $1,650 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 3 children. 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 $1,650 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $750 • Labor charges: $470 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $300 • Towing and inspection: $130 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Hope it all works out, Ning. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal.

        Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Córdoba but we're thinking of you.
