Popy needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Chattogram
Without my taxi Popy can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 3 children. 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 $250 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $35
With deep gratitude,
Popy

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Popy.
Engine head gasket replacement (parts) is $140 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you the best, Popy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Popy?
Thank you. If you're in Chattogram I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thinking of you, Popy. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Popy. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Anaheim.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Pune.
Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Chattogram. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted!
