My taxi: Ratul's only way to earn a living
Ratul drives for a living in Sylhet, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $50. 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 four 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 $50 goes:
• Labor charges: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
