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.

sending strength, Ning. Hope you get there. Take care
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.
