Chidi needs my taxi repaired to get back to work in Bonny
Without my taxi Chidi can't work; a $100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 six 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Labor charges: $35
With deep gratitude,
Chidi

Good news. Because of your gifts ($33 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
