Naama needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Haifa
Without my taxi Naama can't work; a $1,150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $630
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Towing and inspection: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Naama?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gearbox replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Thinking of you and your family, Naama. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best!
How is Naama doing now?
Keep going. Hope you get there. Love from Manchester
Thinking of you, Naama. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Iztapalapa this morning.
