Amaka needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Kano

Without my school-run minibus Amaka can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $250 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Labor charges: $30 • suspension replacement (parts): $185 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Rooting for you, Amaka. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
