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

Without my taxi Obinna can't work; a $100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $100 goes: • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $25 Every share and every dollar helps. - Obinna
