My taxi: Willow's only way to earn a living
Willow's my taxi is Willow's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,100.
🇬🇧 Nottingham, England, United Kingdom3,233 views
I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 eleven 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 $1,100 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $900
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $90
I hope life is good to you.
