Festus needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Ikeja

Without my pickup Festus cannot work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 3 children. 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 $200 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $135 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Festus

    Thinking of you and your family, Festus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
