Savannah needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Erie
Savannah drives for a living in Erie, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇺🇸 United States1,842 views
I make my living with my taxi. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 nine 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 $1,900 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $350
• Towing and inspection: $140
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Savannah!
Keep going, Savannah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Best of luck, Savannah. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Savannah. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Rooting for you, Savannah. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Tiruchirappalli donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Savannah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Erie
