My taxi: Tim's only way to earn a living
Tim drives for a living in Augsburg, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $580
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $120
• Towing and inspection: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Tim
Update from Augsburg: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and the plan for radiator and cooling system replacement is now scheduled.
