Pari needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Huntsville
Pari's my taxi is Pari's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $1,550.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 three 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 $1,550 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $380
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,120
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Pari
Small update. $718 so far, the plan for radiator and cooling system replacement is now scheduled.
Update from Huntsville: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Take care, Pari. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
You're not alone, Pari. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Huntsville.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Huntsville.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Pari. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Huntsville.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending strength, Pari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Berlin
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
sending strength, Pari. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
