Gbenga needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Lagos
Gbenga's my pickup is Gbenga's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $200.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,087 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the suspension 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:
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $20
• suspension replacement (parts): $130
I hope life is good to you.

your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Erie but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Gbenga. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Curitiba donated after I showed her your page. Love from Curitiba.
Thinking of you and your family, Gbenga. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Rockford!
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Lagos.
You're not alone, Gbenga. Looking forward to the next update. After 16 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
