I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $5
I hope life is good to you.

Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Remedios. Small businesses are the heart of Santa Rosa. Hope you're open again soon.
