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

Without my taxi Susana can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $500 goes: • Towing and inspection: $30 • Labor charges: $90 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $380 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
