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

I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 four 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 $1,000 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $490 • Labor charges: $250 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $70 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Sending love, Zoe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Burnaby.

      Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Verónica L. Martínez

        hope it all works out, Zoe. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.

            Wishing you the best, Zoe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
