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

Without my taxi Teodoro can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $200 goes: • Towing and inspection: $20 • gearbox replacement (parts): $130 • Labor charges: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Teodoro

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Hope it all works out, Teodoro. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together.
