I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $50
• Labor charges: $100
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you, Víctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
