I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $85 • Towing and inspection: $35 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $330 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sibusiso
