Get Comfort back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Comfort drives for a living in Lagos, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the engine head gasket 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $200 goes: • Labor charges: $30 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • engine head gasket replacement (parts): $145 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Comfort

    Wishing you the best, Comfort. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Semarang this morning. All the best.

      Thinking of you, Comfort. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Corpus Christi this morning.

          Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you
