Sarah needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Hamilton

Without my taxi Sarah can't work; a $1,200 repair would put her back on the road.

Hamilton

I make my living with my taxi. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,200 goes: • Labor charges: $240 • transmission replacement (parts): $790 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $170 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sarah

Updates from Sarah

Wanted to say thank you properly. 26% funded and the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($207 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and the plan for transmission replacement is now scheduled.

Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Hamilton.
