Tiago needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in São Paulo
Without my taxi Tiago can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil525 views
I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 family of five. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $150
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $30
