My taxi: Yong-jun's only way to earn a living
Without my taxi Yong-jun can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $840
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Yekaterinburg
