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
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.
