Esi needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Accra
Without my pickup Esi can't work; a $100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the rear axle 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
